35. The Lord has blessed my master abundantly, and he has become wealthy. He has given him sheep and cattle, silver and gold, male and female servants, and camels and donkeys.

36. My master’s wife Sarah has borne him a son in her old age, and he has given him everything he owns.

37. And my master made me swear an oath, and said, ‘You must not get a wife for my son from the daughters of the Canaanites, in whose land I live,

38. but go to my father’s family and to my own clan, and get a wife for my son.’

39. “Then I asked my master, ‘What if the woman will not come back with me?’

40. “He replied, ‘The Lord, before whom I have walked faithfully, will send his angel with you and make your journey a success, so that you can get a wife for my son from my own clan and from my father’s family.

41. You will be released from my oath if, when you go to my clan, they refuse to give her to you—then you will be released from my oath.’

42. “When I came to the spring today, I said, ‘Lord, God of my master Abraham, if you will, please grant success to the journey on which I have come.
