“But thou shalt go unto my father’s house, and to my kindred, and take a wife unto my son.”
But the servant continues: go to my father's family and to my own clan, and get a wife for my son. The positive mission is stated clearly: the source of the wife is the family, the clan, the covenant community. The mission is specific and its parameters are clear. The application: the servant is not offering a vague possibility but a specific proposal with clear parameters. Clarity in communication enables the other party to respond with genuine consent.
