## Genesis 24:40 in Context (Verses 37–43 KJV)
 
 [37 ](/kjv/genesis/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 ](/kjv/genesis/24/38) But thou shalt go unto my father’s house, and to my kindred, and take a wife unto my son.
 
 [39 ](/kjv/genesis/24/39) And I said unto my master, Peradventure the woman will not follow me.
 
 [40 ](/kjv/genesis/24/40) 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 ](/kjv/genesis/24/41) 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 ](/kjv/genesis/24/42) 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 ](/kjv/genesis/24/43) 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;
