See how you translated a similar clause in verse 2. Also, in that culture, people owned servants and had complete authority over them. Make sure your translation of master and servant does not imply that the servant was mistreated. Servants were treated well, could hold important positions and were often considered as members of the master’s family. See how you translated a related term “mistress/owner” in Gen 16:4, 8-9.
וַיִּשָּׁ֣בַֽע ל֔וֹ
and,swore to=him/it
See how you translated swore in verse 7 and “swear” in verse 3. Alternate translation: “and made an vow to him” or “and made an unbreakable promise to him”

Some languages need to make explicit what this matter refers to. Do what is best in your language. Alternate translation: “that he would do what he had told him to do.” or “that he would go find a wife for Isaac.”
24:1-67 Isaac’s marriage to Rebekah ensured that God’s plan would continue into the next generation. God showed covenant faithfulness by working through his faithful people (24:12, 27, 49).

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Greek words that they’re translated from.
