Definition: And he said unto me, The LORD, before whom I walk, will send his angel with thee, and prosper thy way; and thou shalt take a wife for my son of my kindred, and of my father’s house:

Explanation: Okay, let’s break down this verse from Genesis 24:40. It's a really important passage about God’s plan for Joseph! Here’s what it means in simpler terms: Basically, God is saying: "I have chosen you to be the husband of my son, and I will guide you to find a suitable wife for him." Let's unpack that a little further: “And he said unto me…” : This is Joseph speaking directly to God. He’s acknowledging God’s role in his situation. “…the LORD, before whom I walk, will send his angel with thee…” : This means God has chosen Joseph to be the husband of his son. And He's using a special angel (a messenger) to help him. "...and prosper thy way; and thou shalt take a wife for my son of my kindred, and of my father’s house: “ : This is the key part! God is promising that through this angel, Joseph will be blessed with a wonderful marriage. He will get a wife who is related to his family (his "kindred") and it will be a happy and prosperous union for both him and his son. In short: God is choosing Joseph to be the husband of his son, and He’s sending an angel to help him find a loving and suitable partner for their son. It's a significant moment in God’s plan! Does that explanation make sense? Do you want me to elaborate on any part of it or perhaps discuss its significance within the larger story of Genesis 24? For example, we could talk about: The context of Joseph’s situation – why was he in Egypt? What does this verse say about God’s plan and his care for his family?
