Genesis 24:34–38 · Berean Standard Bible

34 “I am Abraham’s servant,” he replied.

35 “The LORD has greatly blessed my master, and he has become rich. He has given him sheep and cattle, silver and gold, menservants and maidservants, camels and donkeys.

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

37 My master made me swear an oath and said, ‘You shall not take a wife for my son from the daughters of the Canaanites in whose land I dwell,

38 but you shall go to my father’s house and to my kindred to take a wife for my son.’
