Genesis 24:39 In-Context

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?'
40 But he said, 'I serve the Lord, who will send his angel with you and will help you. You will get a wife for my son from my family and my father's people.
41 Then you will be free from the promise. But if they will not give you a wife for my son, you will be free from this promise.'
