Genesis 24:39 In-Context

37 My master made me promise with a vow to obey his command. He said, "Do not choose a wife for my son from the young women in the land of Canaan.
38 Instead, go to my father's people, to my relatives, and choose a wife for him.'
39 And I asked my master, "What if she will not come with me?'
40 He answered, "The Lord, whom I have always obeyed, will send his angel with you and give you success. You will get for my son a wife from my own people, from my father's family.
41 There is only one way for you to be free from your vow: if you go to my relatives and they refuse you, then you will be free.'
