37
My master made me swear, saying, "You shall not take a wife for my son from the daughters of the Canaanites, in whose land I live;
38
but you shall go to my father's house, to my kindred, and get a wife for my son.'
39
I said to my master, "Perhaps the woman will not follow me.'
40
But he said to me, "The Lord, before whom I walk, will send his angel with you and make your way successful. You shall get a wife for my son from my kindred, from my father's house.
41
Then you will be free from my oath, when you come to my kindred; even if they will not give her to you, you will be free from my oath.'
