36. Sarah, my master’s wife, gave birth to a son when she was old. My master has given everything he owns to that son.
37. My master had me make a promise to him. He said, ‘Don’t get a wife for my son from the Canaanite girls who live around here.

41. Then you will be free from the promise. Or if they will not give you a wife for my son, you will be free from this promise.’
