"The LORD has blessed my master, and he has become wealthy. The LORD has given him sheep and cattle, silver and gold, male and female slaves, camels and donkeys.
36
My master's wife Sarah gave him a son in her old age, and my master has given that son everything he has.

My master made me swear this oath: 'Don't get a wife for my son from the daughters of the Canaanites, in whose land I'm living.
38

39
"I asked my master, 'What if the woman won't come back with me?'
