Abraham told the servant that when he arrives at his clan, he will be released from the oath even if they will not give the woman to him. The release clause is restated — the servant has one condition under which the oath is discharged. The full transparency about the terms of the mission, including its release clause, is the servant's way of ensuring the household understands exactly what is being asked. The application: full disclosure of terms — including the conditions that would end the obligation — is the foundation of genuine consent.
