“And he said unto them, Hinder me not, seeing the LORD hath prospered my way; send me away that I may go to my master.”
King James Version (KJV)
24:55 Let her abide a few days, at least ten - They had consented to the marriage, and yet were loth to part with her. It is an instance of the vanity of this world, that there is nothing in it so agreeable but has its allay. They were pleased that they had matched a daughter of their family so well, and yet it was with reluctancy that they sent her away.
24:57 Call the damsel, and enquire at her mouth - As children ought not to marry without their parents consent, so parents ought not to marry them without their own. Before the matter is resolved on, ask at the damsel's mouth, she is a party principally concerned; and therefore ought to be principally consulted.
And he said vnto them, Hinder me not, seeing the LORD hath prospered my way: send me away, that I may goe to my master.
