And my master made me swear (See Gill on Genesis 24:3). In ( Genesis 24:37-41 ) , the servant relates the oath his master made him take, and the charge he gave him, much in the same language as in ( Genesis 24:3-8 ) .
35
The Lord has greatly blessed my master, and he has become wealthy; he has given him flocks and herds, silver and gold, male and female slaves, camels and donkeys.
36
And Sarah my master's wife bore a son to my master when she was old; and he has given him all that he has.
37
My master made me swear, saying, "You shall not take a wife for my son from the daughters of the Canaanites, in whose land I live;
38
but you shall go to my father's house, to my kindred, and get a wife for my son.'
39
I said to my master, "Perhaps the woman will not follow me.'
