Genesis 24:37-43
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 24
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 and to my relatives, and take a wife for my son.’
39
Then I said to my master, ‘Suppose the woman does not follow me.’
40
And he said to me, ‘The
Lord
, before whom I have walked, will send His angel with you to make your journey successful, and you will take a wife for my son from my relatives and from my father’s house;
41
then you will be free from my oath, when you come to my relatives; and if they do not give her to you, you will be free from my oath.’
42
So I came today to the spring, and said, ‘
Lord
, God of my master Abraham, if now You will make my journey on which I have been going successful;
43
behold, I am standing by the spring, and may it be that the young unmarried woman who comes out to draw
water,
and to whom I say, 'Please let me drink a little water from your jar';
King James Version
Chapter 24
37
And my master made me swear, saying, Thou shalt not take a wife to my son of the daughters of the Canaanites, in whose land I dwell:
38
But thou shalt go unto my father's house, and to my kindred, and take a wife unto my son.
39
And I said unto my master, Peradventure the woman will not follow me.
40
And he said unto me, The
Lord
, before whom I walk, will send his angel with thee, and prosper thy way; and thou shalt take a wife for my son of my kindred, and of my father's house:
41
Then shalt thou be clear from this my oath, when thou comest to my kindred; and if they give not thee one, thou shalt be clear from my oath.
42
And I came this day unto the well, and said, O
Lord
God of my master Abraham, if now thou do prosper my way which I go:
43
Behold, I stand by the well of water; and it shall come to pass, that when the virgin cometh forth to draw water, and I say to her, Give me, I pray thee, a little water of thy pitcher to drink;
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 24
37
My master put me under this oath: ‘You will not take a wife for my son from the daughters of the Canaanites in whose land I live
38
but will go to my father’s family and to my clan to take a wife for my son.’
39
But I said to my master, ‘Suppose the woman will not come back with me?’
40
He said to me, ‘The
Lord
before whom I have walked will send his angel with you and make your journey a success, and you will take a wife for my son from my clan and from my father’s family.
41
Then you will be free from my oath if you go to my family and they do not give her to you—you will be free from my oath.’
42
"Today when I came to the spring, I prayed:
Lord
, God of my master Abraham, if only you will make my journey successful!
43
I am standing here at a spring. Let the young woman who comes out to draw water, and I say to her, ‘Please let me drink a little water from your jug,’
New Living Translation
Chapter 24
37
And my master made me take an oath. He said, ‘Do not allow my son to marry one of these local Canaanite women.
38
Go instead to my father’s house, to my relatives, and find a wife there for my son.’
39
But I said to my master, ‘What if I can’t find a young woman who is willing to go back with me?’
40
He responded, ‘The
Lord
, in whose presence I have lived, will send his angel with you and will make your mission successful. Yes, you must find a wife for my son from among my relatives, from my father’s family.
41
Then you will have fulfilled your obligation. But if you go to my relatives and they refuse to let her go with you, you will be free from my oath.’
42
So today when I came to the spring, I prayed this prayer: ‘O
Lord
, God of my master, Abraham, please give me success on this mission.
43
See, I am standing here beside this spring. This is my request. When a young woman comes to draw water, I will say to her, 'Please give me a little drink of water from your jug.'

Chapter 24
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.
43
See, I am standing beside this spring. If a young woman comes out to draw water and I say to her, "Please let me drink a little water from your jar,"

37
Now 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 dwell;
38
but you shall go to my father’s house and to my family, and take a wife for my son.’
39

Lord
, before whom I walk, will send His angel with you and prosper your way; and you shall take a wife for my son from my family and from my father’s house.
41
You will be clear from this oath when you arrive among my family; for if they will not give
her
to you, then you will be released from my oath.’
42
“And this day I came to the well and said, ‘O
Lord
God of my master Abraham, if You will now prosper the way in which I go,
43
behold, I stand by the well of water; and it shall come to pass that when the virgin comes out to draw
water,
and I say to her, “Please give me a little water from your pitcher to drink,”
