Genesis 24:39 (King James Version)
And I said unto my master, Peradventure the woman will not follow me.

- Peradventure
- We may see, says Calmet, by this and other passages of Scripture, ( Joshua 9:18, ,)what the sentiments of the ancients were relative to an oath. They believed that they were bound precisely by what was spoken, and had no liberty to interpret the intentions of those by whom the oath was made.
