Genesis 24:37-41

37 1My master made me swear, saying, ‘You shall not take a wife for my son from the daughters of the Canaanites, in whose land I 2live; 38but you shall go to my father’s house and to my relatives, and take a wife for my son.’ 39 3I said to my master, ‘Suppose the woman does not follow me.’ 40He said to me, ‘4The Lord, before whom I have 5walked, will send 6His angel with you to make your journey successful, and you will take a wife for my son from my relatives and from my father’s house; 41 7then you will be free from my oath, when you come to my relatives; and if they do not give her to you, you will be free from my oath.’
