"But if the woman is not willing to come back with you, you will be free from this oath of mine. But you must not take my son back there!”"
— Genesis 24:8, NET Bible
“And if the woman will not be willing to follow thee, then thou shalt be clear from this my oath: only bring not my son thither again.”
“And if the woman be not willing to follow thee, then thou shalt be clear from this my oath; only thou shalt not bring my son thither again. ”
“If the woman isn't willing to follow you, then you shall be clear from this my oath. Only you shall not bring my son there again."”
“But if the woman will not follow thee, thou shalt not be bound by the oath: only bring not my son back thither again.”
“And if the woman will not come with you, then you are free from this oath; only do not take my son back there.”
“And if the woman will not be willing to follow thee, then thou shalt be clear from this my oath: only bring not my son thither again.”
The servant asked him,“What if the woman is not willing to come back with me to this land? Must I then take your son back to the land from which you came?”
“Be careful never to take my son back there!” Abraham told him.
“The LORD, the God of heaven, who took me from my father’s house and the land of my relatives, promised me with a solemn oath,‘To your descendants I will give this land.’ He will send his angel before you so that you may find a wife for my son from there.
But if the woman is not willing to come back with you, you will be free from this oath of mine. But you must not take my son back there!”
So the servant placed his hand under the thigh of his master Abraham and gave his solemn promise he would carry out his wishes.
Then the servant took ten of his master’s camels and departed with all kinds of gifts from his master at his disposal. He journeyed to the region of Aram Naharaim and the city of Nahor.
He made the camels kneel down by the well outside the city. It was evening, the time when the women would go out to draw water.
