Genesis 24:36-38
New English Translation

36 My master’s wife Sarah bore a son to him[a] when she was old,[b] and my master[c] has given him everything he owns. 37 My master made me swear an oath. He said, ‘You must not acquire a wife for my son from the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I am living, 38 but you must go to the family of my father and to my relatives to find[d] a wife for my son.’
