Genesis 24

³⁷ My master made me swear an oath and said, ‘You shall not take a wife for my son from the daughters of the Canaanites in whose land I dwell,

³⁸ but you shall go to my father’s house and to my kindred to take a wife for my son.’

³⁹ Then I asked my master, ‘What if the woman will not come back with me?’

⁴⁰ And he told me, ‘The LORD, before whom I have walked, will send His angel with you and make your journey a success, so that you may take a wife for my son from my kindred and from my father’s house.

⁴¹ And when you go to my kindred, if they refuse to give her to you, then you will be released from my oath.’
