Kejadian 24:41

24:41 You will be free from your oath ¹  if you go to my relatives and they will not give her to you. Then you will be free from your oath.’

Kejadian 29:19

29:19 Laban replied, “I’d rather give her to you than to another man. ²  Stay with me.”

[24:41]  ¹ tn Heb “my oath” (twice in this verse). From the Hebrew perspective the oath belonged to the person to whom it was sworn (Abraham), although in contemporary English an oath is typically viewed as belonging to the person who swears it (the servant).

[29:19]  ² tn Heb “Better my giving her to you than my giving her to another man.”
