Genesis 24:34-40 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

34. And he said: I am the servant of Abraham:

35. And the Lord hath blessed my master wonderfully, and he is become great: and he hath given him sheep and oxen, silver and gold, menservants and womenservants, camels and asses.

36. And Sara my master's wife hath borne my master a son in her old age, and he hath given him all that he had.

37. And my master made me swear, saying: Thou shalt not take a wife for my son of the Chanaanites, in whose land I dwell:

38. But thou shalt go to my father's house, and shalt take a wife of my own kindred for my son:

39. But I answered my master: What if the woman will not come with me?

40. The Lord, said he, in whose sight I walk, will send his angel with thee, and will direct thy way: and thou shalt take a wife for my son of my own kindred, and of my father's house.
