Genesis 24:39 Context
37And my master made me sweare, saying, Thou shalt not take a wife to my sonne, of the daughters of the Canaanites, in whose land I dwell: 38But thou shalt goe vnto my fathers house, and to my kinred, and take a wife vnto my sonne. 39And I said vnto my master, Peraduenture the woman will not followe me. 40And hee saide vnto me, The LORD, before whom I walke, will send his Angel with thee, and prosper thy way: and thou shalt take a wife for my sonne, of my kinred, and of my fathers house. 41Then shalt thou bee cleare from this my oath, when thou commest to my kinred, and if they giue not thee one, thou shalt be cleare from my oath.
