Genesis 24:39 in context

1. 37My 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,
2. 38but you shall go to my father’s house, and to my relatives, and take a wife for my son.’
3. 39I asked my master, ‘What if the woman will not follow me?’
4. 40He said to me, ‘Yahweh, before whom I walk, will send his angel with you, and prosper your way. You shall take a wife for my son from my relatives, and of my father’s house.
5. 41Then you will be clear from my oath, when you come to my relatives. If they don’t give her to you, you shall be clear from my oath.’
