And my master made me swear (See Gill on Genesis 24:3). In ( Genesis 24:37-41 ) , the servant relates the oath his master made him take, and the charge he gave him, much in the same language as in ( Genesis 24:3-8 ) .
35
The Lord has greatly blessed my master in everything, and he has become a rich man. The Lord has given him many flocks of sheep, herds of cattle, silver and gold, male and female servants, camels, and horses.
36
Sarah, my master's wife, gave birth to a son when she was old, and my master has given everything he owns to that son.
37
My master had me make a promise to him and said, 'Don't get a wife for my son from the Canaanite girls who live around here.
38
Instead, you must go to my father's people and to my family. There you must get a wife for my son.'
39
I said to my master, 'What if the woman will not come back with me?'
