Genesis 24:36-41 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

36. And Sarah, the wife of my lord, has given birth to a son for my lord in her old age, and he has given him all that he had.

37. And my lord made me swear, saying: 'You shall not take a wife for my son from the Canaanites, in whose land I dwell.

38. But you shall travel to my father's house, and you shall take a wife of my own kindred for my son.'

39. But truly, I answered my lord, 'What if the woman is not willing to come with me?'

40. 'The Lord,' he said, 'in whose sight I walk, will send his Angel with you, and he will direct your way. And you shall take a wife for my son from my own kindred and from my father's house.

41. But you will be innocent of my curse, if, when you will arrive at my close relatives, they will not grant this to you.'
