Genesis 24:38 In-Context

36 Sarah, my master's wife, bore him a son when she was old, and my master has given everything he owns to him.

37 My master made me promise with a vow to obey his command. He said, "Do not choose a wife for my son from the young women in the land of Canaan.

38 Instead, go to my father's people, to my relatives, and choose a wife for him.'

39 And I asked my master, "What if she will not come with me?'

40 He answered, "The Lord, whom I have always obeyed, will send his angel with you and give you success. You will get for my son a wife from my own people, from my father's family.
