Before whom I walk, in obedience to all his commands, and in hearty trust in his promises and gracious providence towards me and mine.

‘And he said to me, “Yahweh before whom I walk will send his angel with you and prosper your way, and you will take a wife for my son from my kindred and of my father’s house.
