Genesis 24:39-41
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
39 When I asked my master, ‘What if the woman will not follow me?’ 40 he replied: ‘The Lord, in whose presence I have always walked, will send his angel with you and make your journey successful, and so you will get a wife for my son from my own family and my father’s house.(A) 41 Then you will be freed from my curse. If you go to my family and they refuse you, then, too, you will be free from my curse.’[a]
