⁵¹ Look, Rebekah is before you, take her and go, and let her be the wife of your master’s son, as the Lord has spoken.”

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, to my kindred, and get a wife for my son.’^(A)
