Genesis 24:39 In-Context
37 My master put me under this oath: 'You will not take a wife for my son from the daughters of the Canaanites in whose land I live
38 but will go to my father's household and to my family to take a wife for my son.'
39 But I said to my master, 'Suppose the woman will not come back with me?'
40 He said to me, 'The Lord before whom I have walked will send His angel with you and make your journey a success, and you will take a wife for my son from my family and from my father's household.
41 Then you will be free from my oath if you go to my family and they do not give [her] to you-you will be free from my oath.'
