## translationNotes
* Abraham's servant continues speaking to Rebekah's family.
* **Perhaps the woman will not follow me.** - This is something that could possibly happen. The servant wanted to know what he should do if it did. It could be translated as a question: “What if the woman will not come back with me?” or "What should I do if the woman will not come back with me?" (See: [[en:ta:vol1:translate:figs_hypo]])
* **before whom I walk** - This is a way of saying "whom I serve" or "whom I obey." (See: [[en:ta:vol1:translate:figs_idiom]])
* **he will prosper your way** - "he will make your journey successful"
* **family line** - "family"
* **But you will be free from my oath if you come to my relatives and they will not give her to you. Then you will be free from my oath** - "But, if you come to my relatives and they will not give her to you, then you will be free from my oath." This is a hypothetical situation that Abraham did not think was likely to happen.
* **if you come to my relatives** - Different languages use the words come and go differently. Alternate translations: "if you arrive at my relatives' home" or "if you go to my relatives"
