Which parts of this excerpt from Beowulf denote the importance of kinship and lineage?

I have been strand-guard, standing as warden,

Lest enemies ever anywise ravage

Danish dominions with army of war-ships.

More boldly never have warriors ventured

Hither to come; of [kinsmen's approval,

Word-leave of warriors], I ween that ye surely

[Nothing have known. Never a greater one

Of earls o'er the earth have I had a sight of]

Than is one of your number, a hero in armor;

No low-ranking fellow adorned with his weapons,

But launching them little, unless looks are deceiving,

[And striking appearance]. Ere ye pass on your journey

As treacherous spies to the land of the Scyldings

And farther fare, I fully must know now
