35 Issand on mu isandat väga õnnistanud, nõnda et ta on jõukaks saanud: ta on temale andnud lambaid, kitsi ja veiseid, hõbedat ja kulda, sulaseid ja teenijaid, kaameleid ja eesleid.

3046. 'And swore to him concerning this matter' means a very solemn undertaking. This is clear from the meaning of 'swearing' as a bond, and indeed a most sacred bond since he swore by 'Jehovah, the God of heaven and the God of the earth', as dealt with in 3023. It is accordingly a very solemn undertaking, for a very solemn undertaking is nothing else than a bond.
