+
+THE BOOK OF TOBIAS
+
+This Book takes its name from the holy man Tobias, whose wonderful
+virtues are herein recorded. It contains most excellent documents of
+great piety, extraordinary patience, and of a perfect resignation to the
+will of God. His humble prayer was heard, and the angel Raphael was sent
+to relieve him: he is thankful and praises the Lord, calling on the
+children of Israel to do the same. Having lived to the age of one
+hundred and two years, he exhorts his son and grandsons to piety,
+foretells the destruction of Ninive and the rebuilding of Jerusalem: he
+dies happily.
+
+
+Tobias Chapter 1
+
+Tobias's early piety: his works of mercy, particularly in burying the
+dead.
+
+1:1. Tobias of the tribe and city of Nephtali, (which is in the upper
+parts of Galilee above Naasson, beyond the way that leadeth to the west,
+having on the right hand the city of Sephet,)
+
+1:2. When he was made captive in the days of Salmanasar king of the
+Assyrians, even in his captivity, forsook not the way of truth,
+
+1:3. But every day gave all he could get to his brethren his fellow
+captives, that were of his kindred.
+
+1:4. And when he was younger than any of the tribe of Nephtali, yet did
+he no childish thing in his work.
+
+1:5. Moreover when all went to the golden calves which Jeroboam king of
+Israel had made, he alone fled the company of all,
+
+1:6. And went to Jerusalem to the temple of the Lord, and there adored
+the Lord God of Israel, offering faithfully all his firstfruits, and his
+tithes,
+
+1:7. So that in the third year he gave all his tithes to the proselytes,
+and strangers.
+
+1:8. These and such like things did he observe when but a boy according
+to the law of God.
+
+1:9. But when he was a man, he took to wife Anna of his own tribe, and
+had a son by her, whom he called after his own name,
+
+1:10. And from his infancy he taught him to fear God, and to abstain
+from all sin.
+
+1:11. And when by the captivity he with his wife and his son and all his
+tribe was come to the city of Ninive,
+
+1:12. (When all ate of the meats of the Gentiles) he kept his soul and
+never was defiled with their meats.
+
+1:13. And because he was mindful of the Lord with all his heart, God
+gave him favour in the sight of Salmanasar the king.
+
+1:14. And he gave him leave to go whithersoever he would, with liberty
+to do whatever he had a mind.
+
+1:15. He therefore went to all that were in captivity, and gave them
+wholesome admonitions.
+
+1:16. And when he was come to Rages a city of the Medes, and had ten
+talents of silver of that with which he had been honoured by the king:
+
+1:17. And when amongst a great multitude of his kindred, he saw Gabelus
+in want, who was one of his tribe, taking a note of his hand he gave him
+the aforesaid sum of money.
+
+1:18. But after a long time, Salmanasar the king being dead, when
+Sennacherib his son, who reigned in his place, had a hatred for the
+children of Israel:
+
+1:19. Tobias daily went among all his kindred and comforted them, and
+distributed to every one as he was able, out of his goods:
+
+1:20. He fed the hungry, and gave clothes to the naked, and was careful
+to bury the dead, and they that were slain.
+
+1:21. And when king Sennacherib was come back, fleeing from Judea by
+reason of the slaughter that God had made about him for his blasphemy,
+and being angry slew many of the children of Israel, Tobias buried their
+bodies.
+
+1:22. But when it was told the king, he commanded him to be slain, and
+took away all his substance.
+
+1:23. But Tobias fleeing naked away with his son and with his wife, lay
+concealed, for many loved him.
+
+1:24. But after forty-five days, the king was killed by his own sons.
+
+1:25. And Tobias returned to his house, and all his substance was
+restored to him.
+
+Tobias Chapter 2
+
+Tobias leaveth his dinner to bury the dead: he loseth his sight by God's
+permission, for manifestation of his patience.
+
+2:1. But after this, when there was a festival of the Lord, and a good
+dinner was prepared in Tobias's house,
+
+2:2. He said to his son: Go, and bring some of our tribe that fear God,
+to feast with us.
+
+2:3. And when he had gone, returning he told him, that one of the
+children of Israel lay slain in the street. And he forthwith leaped up
+from his place at the table, and left his dinner, and came fasting to
+the body.
+
+2:4. And taking it up carried it privately to his house, that after the
+sun was down, he might bury him cautiously.
+
+2:5. And when he had hid the body, he ate bread with mourning and fear,
+
+2:6. Remembering the word which the Lord spoke by Amos the prophet: Your
+festival days shall be turned into lamentation and mourning.
+
+2:7. So when the sun was down, he went and buried him.
+
+2:8. Now all his neighbours blamed him, saying: once already commandment
+was given for thee to be slain because of this matter, and thou didst
+scarce escape the sentence of death, and dost thou again bury the dead?
+
+2:9. But Tobias fearing God more than the king, carried off the bodies
+of them that were slain, and hid them in his house, and at midnight
+buried them.
+
+2:10. Now it happened one day that being wearied with burying, he came
+to his house, and cast himself down by the wall and slept,
+
+2:11. And as he was sleeping, hot dung out of a swallow's nest fell upon
+his eyes, and he was made blind.
+
+2:12. Now this trial the Lord therefore permitted to happen to him, that
+an example might be given to posterity of his patience, as also of holy
+Job.
+
+2:13. For whereas he had always feared God from his infancy, and kept
+his commandments, he repined not against God because the evil of
+blindness had befallen him,
+
+2:14. But continued immoveable in the fear of God, giving thanks to God
+all the days of his life.
+
+2:15. For as the kings insulted over holy Job: so his relations and
+kinsmen mocked at his life, saying:
+
+Kings... So Job's three friends are here called, because they were
+princes in their respective territories.
+
+2:16. Where is thy hope, for which thou gavest alms, and buriedst the
+dead?
+
+2:17. But Tobias rebuked them, saying: Speak not so:
+
+2:18. For we are the children of saints, and look for that life which
+God will give to those that never change their faith from him.
+
+2:19. Now Anna his wife went daily to weaving work, and she brought home
+what she could get for their living by the labour of her hands.
+
+2:20. Whereby it came to pass, that she received a young kid, and
+brought it home:
+
+2:21. And when her husband heard it bleating, he said: Take heed, lest
+perhaps it be stolen: restore ye it to its owners, for it is not lawful
+for us either to eat or to touch any thing that cometh by theft.
+
+2:22. At these words his wife being angry answered: It is evident the
+hope is come to nothing, and thy alms now appear.
+
+2:23. And with these and other, such like words she upbraided him.
+
+Tobias Chapter 3
+
+The prayer of Tobias, and of Sara, in their several afflictions, are
+heard by God, and the angel Raphael is sent to relieve them.
+
+3:1. Then Tobias sighed, and began to pray with tears,
+
+3:2. Saying, Thou art just, O Lord, and all thy judgments are just, and
+all thy ways mercy, and truth, and judgment:
+
+3:3. And now, O Lord, think of me, and take not revenge of my sins,
+neither remember my offences, nor those of my parents.
+
+3:4. For we have not obeyed thy commandments, therefore are we delivered
+to spoil and to captivity, and death, and are made a fable, and a
+reproach to all nations, amongst which thou hast scattered us.
+
+3:5. And now, O Lord, great are thy judgments, because we have not done
+according to thy precepts, and have not walked sincerely before thee.
+
+3:6. And now, O Lord, do with me according to thy will, and command my
+spirit to be received in peace: for it is better for me to die, than to
+live.
+
+3:7. Now it happened on the same day, that Sara daughter of Raguel, in
+Rages a city of the Medes, received a reproach from one of her father's
+servant maids,
+
+Rages... In the Greek it is Ecbatana, which was also called Rages. For
+there were two cities in Media of the name of Rages. Raguel dwelt in one
+of them, and Gabelus in the other.
+
+3:8. Because she had been given to seven husbands and a devil named
+Asmodeus had killed them, at their first going in unto her.
+
+3:9. So when she reproved the maid for her fault, she answered her,
+saying: May we never see son, or daughter of thee upon the earth, thou
+murderer of thy husbands.
+
+3:10. Wilt thou kill me also, as thou hast already killed seven
+husbands? At these words, she went into an upper chamber of her house:
+and for three days and three nights did neither eat nor drink:
+
+3:11. But continuing in prayer with tears besought God, that he would
+deliver her from this reproach.
+
+3:12. And it came to pass on the third day when she was making an end of
+her prayer, blessing the Lord,
+
+3:13. She said: Blessed is thy name, O God of our fathers, who when thou
+hast been angry, wilt shew mercy, and in the time of tribulation
+forgivest the sins of them that call upon thee.
+
+3:14. To thee, O Lord, I turn my face, to thee I direct my eyes.
+
+3:15. I beg, O Lord, that thou loose me from the bond of this reproach,
+or else take me away from the earth.
+
+3:16. Thou knowest, O Lord, that I never coveted a husband, and have
+kept my soul clean from all lust.
+
+3:17. Never have I joined myself with them that play: neither have I
+made myself partaker with them that walk in lightness.
+
+3:18. But a husband I consented to take, with thy fear, not with my
+lust.
+
+3:19. And either I was unworthy of them, or they perhaps were not worthy
+of me: because perhaps thou hast kept me for another man,
+
+3:20. For thy counsel is not in man's power.
+
+3:21. But this every one is sure of that worshippeth thee, that his
+life, if it be under trial, shall be crowned and if it be under
+tribulation, it shall be delivered: and if it be under correction, it
+shall be allowed to come to thy mercy.
+
+3:22. For thou art not delighted in our being lost, because after a
+storm thou makest a calm, and after tears and weeping thou pourest in
+joyfulness.
+
+3:23. Be thy name, O God of Israel, blessed for ever,
+
+3:24. At that time the prayers of them both were heard in the sight of
+the glory of the most high God:
+
+3:25. And the holy angel of the Lord, Raphael was sent to heal them
+both, whose prayers at one time were rehearsed in the sight of the Lord.
+
+Tobias Chapter 4
+
+Tobias thinking he shall die, giveth his son godly admonitions: and
+telleth him of money he had lent to a friend.
+
+4:1. Therefore when Tobias thought that his prayer was heard that he
+might die, he called to him Tobias his son,
+
+4:2. And said to him: Hear, my son, the words of my mouth, and lay them
+as a foundation in thy heart.
+
+4:3. When God shall take my soul, thou shalt bury my body: and thou
+shalt honour thy mother all the days of her life:
+
+4:4. For thou must be mindful what and how great perils she suffered for
+thee in her womb.
+
+4:5. And when she also shall have ended the time of her life, bury her
+by me.
+
+4:6. And all the days of thy life have God in thy mind: and take heed
+thou never consent to sin, nor transgress the commandments of the Lord
+our God.
+
+4:7. Give alms out of thy substance, and turn not away thy face from any
+poor person: for so it shall come to pass that the face of the Lord
+shall not be turned from thee.
+
+4:8. According to thy ability be merciful.
+
+4:9. If thou have much give abundantly: if thou have little, take care
+even so to bestow willingly a little.
+
+4:10. For thus thou storest up to thyself a good reward for the day of
+necessity.
+
+4:11. For alms deliver from all sin, and from death, and will not suffer
+the soul to go into darkness.
+
+4:12. Alms shall be a great confidence before the most high God, to all
+them that give it.
+
+4:13. Take heed to keep thyself, my son, from all fornication, and
+beside thy wife never endure to know a crime.
+
+4:14. Never suffer pride to reign in thy mind, or in thy words: for from
+it all perdition took its beginning.
+
+4:15. If any man hath done any work for thee, immediately pay him his
+hire, and let not the wages of thy hired servant stay with thee at all.
+
+4:16. See thou never do to another what thou wouldst hate to have done
+to thee by another.
+
+4:17. Eat thy bread with the hungry and the needy, and with thy garments
+cover the naked,
+
+4:18. Lay out thy bread, and thy wine upon the burial of a just man, and
+do not eat and drink thereof with the wicked.
+
+4:19. Seek counsel always of a wise man.
+
+4:20. Bless God at all times: and desire of him to direct thy ways, and
+that all thy counsels may abide in him.
+
+4:21. I tell thee also, my son, that I lent ten talents of silver, while
+thou wast yet a child, to Gabelus, in Rages a city of the Medes, and I
+have a note of his hand with me:
+
+4:22. Now therefore inquire how thou mayst go to him, and receive of him
+the foresaid sum of money, and restore to him the note of his hand.
+
+4:23. Fear not, my son: we lead indeed a poor life, but we shall have
+many good things if we fear God, and depart from all sin, and do that
+which is good.
+
+Tobias Chapter 5
+
+Young Tobias seeking a guide for his journey, the angel Raphael, in
+shape of a man, undertaketh this office.
+
+5:1. Then Tobias answered his father, and said: I will do all things,
+father, which thou hast commanded me.
+
+5:2. But how I shall get this money, I cannot tell; he knoweth not me,
+and I know not him: what token shall I give him? nor did I ever know the
+way which leadeth thither.
+
+5:3. Then his father answered him, and said: I have a note of his hand
+with me, which when thou shalt shew him, he will presently pay it.
+
+5:4. But go now, and seek thee out some faithful man, to go with thee
+for his hire: that thou mayst receive it, while I yet live.
+
+5:5. Then Tobias going forth, found a beautiful young man, standing
+girded, and as it were ready to walk.
+
+5:6. And not knowing that he was an angel of God, he saluted him, and
+said: From whence art thou, good young man?
+
+5:7. But he answered: Of the children of Israel. And Tobias said to him:
+Knowest thou the way that leadeth to the country of the Medes?
+
+5:8. And he answered: I know it: and I have often walked through all the
+ways thereof, and I have abode with Gabelus our brother, who dwelleth at
+Rages a city of the Medes, which is situate in the mount of Ecbatana.
+
+5:9. And Tobias said to him: Stay for me, I beseech thee, till I tell
+these same things to my father.
+
+5:10. Then Tobias going in told all these things to his father. Upon
+which his father being in admiration, desired that he would come in unto
+him.
+
+5:11. So going in he saluted him, and said: Joy be to thee always.
+
+5:12. And Tobias said: What manner of joy shall be to me, who sit in
+darkness and see not the light of heaven?
+
+5:13. And the young man said to him: Be of good courage, thy cure from
+God is at hand.
+
+5:14. And Tobias said to him: Canst thou conduct my son to Gabelus at
+Rages, a city of the Medes? and when thou shalt return, I will pay thee
+thy hire.
+
+5:15. And the angel said to him: I will conduct him thither, and bring
+him back to thee.
+
+5:16. And Tobias said to him: I pray thee, tell me, of what family, or
+what tribe art thou?
+
+5:17. And Raphael the angel answered: Dost thou seek the family of him
+thou hirest, or the hired servant himself to go with thy son?
+
+5:18. But lest I should make thee uneasy, I am Azarias the son of the
+great Ananias.
+
+Azarias... The angel took the form of Azarias: and therefore might call
+himself by the name of the man whom he personated. Azarias, in Hebrew,
+signifies the help of God, and Ananias the grace of God.
+
+5:19. And Tobias answered: Thou art of a great family. But I pray thee
+be not angry that I desired to know thy family.
+
+5:20. And the angel said to him: I will lead thy son safe, and bring him
+to thee again safe.
+
+5:21. And Tobias answering, said: May you have a good journey, and God
+be with you in your way, and his angel accompany you.
+
+5:22. Then all things being ready, that were to be carried in their
+journey, Tobias bade his father and his mother farewell, and they set
+out both together.
+
+5:23. And when they were departed, his mother began to weep, and to say:
+Thou hast taken the staff of our old age, and sent him away from us.
+
+5:24. I wish the money for which thou hast sent him, had never been.
+
+5:25. For our poverty was sufficient for us, that we might account it as
+riches, that we saw our son.
+
+5:26. And Tobias said to her: Weep not, our son will arrive thither
+safe, and will return safe to us, and thy eyes shall see him.
+
+5:27. For I believe that the good angel of God doth accompany him, and
+doth order all things well that are done about him, so that he shall
+return to us with joy.
+
+5:28. At these words his mother ceased weeping, and held her peace.
+
+Tobias Chapter 6
+
+By the angel's advice young Tobias taketh hold on a fish that assaulteth
+him. Reserveth the heart, the gall, and the liver for medicines. They
+lodge at the house of Raguel, whose daughter Sara, Tobias is to marry;
+she had before been married to seven husbands, who were all slain by a
+devil.
+
+6:1. And Tobias went forward, and the dog followed him, and he lodged
+the first night by the river of Tigris.
+
+6:2. And he went out to wash his feet, and behold a monstrous fish came
+up to devour him.
+
+6:3. And Tobias being afraid of him, cried out with a loud voice,
+saying: Sir, he cometh upon me.
+
+6:4. And the angel said to him: Take him by the gill, and draw him to
+thee. And when he had done so, he drew him out upon the land, and he
+began to pant before his feet.
+
+6:5. Then the angel said to him: Take out the entrails of this fish, and
+lay up his heart, and his gall, and his liver for thee: for these are
+necessary for useful medicines.
+
+6:6. And when he had done so, he roasted the flesh thereof, and they
+took it with them in the way: the rest they salted as much as might
+serve them, till they came to Rages the city of the Medes.
+
+6:7. Then Tobias asked the angel, and said to him: I beseech thee,
+brother Azarias, tell me what remedies are these things good for, which
+thou hast bid me keep of the fish?
+
+6:8. And the angel, answering, said to him: If thou put a little piece
+of its heart upon coals, the smoke thereof driveth away all kind of
+devils, either from man or from woman, so that they come no more to
+them.
+
+Its heart, etc. The liver (ver. 19)... God was pleased to give these
+things a virtue against those proud spirits, to make them, who affected
+to be like the Most High, subject to such mean corporeal creatures as
+instruments of his power.
+
+6:9. And the gall is good for anointing the eyes, in which there is a
+white speck, and they shall be cured.
+
+6:10. And Tobias said to him: Where wilt thou that we lodge?
+
+6:11. And the angel answering, said: Here is one whose name is Raguel, a
+near kinsman of thy tribe, and he hath a daughter named Sara, but he
+hath no son nor any other daughter beside her.
+
+6:12. All his substance is due to thee, and thou must take her to wife.
+
+6:13. Ask her therefore of her father, and he will give her thee to
+wife.
+
+6:14. Then Tobias answered, and said: I hear that she hath been given to
+seven husbands, and they all died: moreover I have heard, that a devil
+killed them.
+
+6:15. Now I am afraid, lest the same thing should happen to me also: and
+whereas I am the only child of my parents, I should bring down their old
+age with sorrow to hell.
+
+Hell... That is, to the place where the souls of the good were kept
+before the coming of Christ.
+
+6:16. Then the angel Raphael said to him: Hear me, and I will shew thee
+who they are, over whom the devil can prevail.
+
+6:17. For they who in such manner receive matrimony, as to shut out God
+from themselves, and from their mind, and to give themselves to their
+lust, as the horse and mule, which have not understanding, over them the
+devil hath power.
+
+6:18. But thou when thou shalt take her, go into the chamber, and for
+three days keep thyself continent from her, and give thyself to nothing
+else but to prayers with her.
+
+6:19. And on that night lay the liver of the fish on the fire, and the
+devil shall be driven away.
+
+6:20. But the second night thou shalt be admitted into the society of
+the holy Patriarchs.
+
+6:21. And the third night thou shalt obtain a blessing that sound
+children may be born of you.
+
+6:22. And when the third night is past, thou shalt take the virgin with
+the fear of the Lord, moved rather for love of children than for lust,
+that in the seed of Abraham thou mayst obtain a blessing in children.
+
+Tobias Chapter 7
+
+They are kindly entertained by Raguel. Tobias demandeth Sara to wife.
+
+7:1. And they went in to Raguel, and Raguel received them with joy.
+
+7:2. And Raguel looking upon Tobias, said to Anna his wife: How like is
+this young man to my cousin?
+
+7:3. And when he had spoken these words, he said: Whence are ye young
+men our brethren?
+
+7:4. But they said: We are of the tribe of Nephtali, of the captivity of
+Ninive.
+
+7:5. And Raguel said to them: Do you know Tobias my brother? And they
+said: We know him.
+
+7:6. And when he was speaking many good things of him, the angel said to
+Raguel: Tobias concerning whom thou inquirest is this young man's
+father.
+
+7:7. And Raguel went to him, and kissed him with tears and weeping upon
+his neck, said: A blessing be upon thee, my son, because thou art the
+son of a good and most virtuous man.
+
+7:8. And Anna his wife, and Sara their daughter wept.
+
+7:9. And after they had spoken, Raguel commanded a sheep to be killed,
+and a feast to be prepared. And when he desired them to sit down to
+dinner,
+
+7:10. Tobias said: I will not eat nor drink here this day, unless thou
+first grant me my petition, and promise to give me Sara thy daughter.
+
+7:11. Now when Raguel heard this he was afraid, knowing what had
+happened to those seven husbands, that went in unto her: and he began to
+fear lest it might happen to him also in like manner: and as he was in
+suspense, and gave no answer to his petition,
+
+7:12. The angel said to him: Be not afraid to give her to this man, for
+to him who feareth God is thy daughter due to be his wife: therefore
+another could not have her.
+
+7:13. Then Raguel said: I doubt not but God hath regarded my prayers and
+tears in his sight.
+
+7:14. And I believe he hath therefore made you come to me, that this
+maid might be married to one of her own kindred, according to the law of
+Moses: and now doubt not but I will give her to thee.
+
+7:15. And taking the right hand of his daughter, he gave it into the
+right hand of Tobias, saying: The God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac,
+and the God of Jacob be with you, and may he join you together, and
+fulfil his blessing in you.
+
+7:16. And taking paper they made a writing of the marriage.
+
+7:17. And afterwards they made merry, blessing God.
+
+7:18. And Raguel called to him Anna his wife, and bade her to prepare
+another chamber.
+
+7:19. And she brought Sara her daughter in thither, and she wept.
+
+7:20. And she said to her: Be of good cheer, my daughter: the Lord of
+heaven give thee joy for the trouble thou hast undergone.
+
+Tobias Chapter 8
+
+Tobias burneth part of the fish's liver, and Raphael bindeth the devil.
+Tobias and Sara pray.
+
+8:1. And after they had supped, they brought in the young man to her.
+
+8:2. And Tobias remembering the angel's word, took out of his bag part
+of the liver, and laid it upon burning coals.
+
+8:3. Then the angel Raphael took the devil, and bound him in the desert
+of upper Egypt.
+
+8:4. Then Tobias exhorted the virgin, and said to her: Sara, arise, and
+let us pray to God to day, and to morrow, and the next day: because for
+these three nights we are joined to God: and when the third night is
+over, we will be in our own wedlock.
+
+8:5. For we are the children of saints, and we must not be joined
+together like heathens that know not God.
+
+8:6. So they both arose, and prayed earnestly both together that health
+might be given them,
+
+8:7. And Tobias said: Lord God of our fathers, may the heavens and the
+earth, and the sea, and the fountains, and the rivers, and all thy
+creatures that are in them, bless thee.
+
+8:8. Thou madest Adam of the slime of the earth, and gavest him Eve for
+a helper.
+
+8:9. And now, Lord, thou knowest, that not for fleshly lust do I take my
+sister to wife, but only for the love of posterity, in which thy name
+may be blessed for ever and ever.
+
+8:10. Sara also said: Have mercy on us, O Lord, have mercy on us, and
+let us grow old both together in health.
+
+8:11. And it came to pass about the cockcrowing, Raguel ordered his
+servants to be called for, and they went with him together to dig a
+grave.
+
+8:12. For he said: Lest perhaps it may have happened to him, in like
+manner as it did to the other seven husbands, that went in unto her.
+
+8:13. And when they had prepared the pit, Raguel went back to his wife,
+and said to her:
+
+8:14. Send one of thy maids, and let her see if he be dead, that I may
+bury him before it be day.
+
+8:15. So she sent one of her maidservants, who went into the chamber,
+and found them safe and sound, sleeping both together.
+
+8:16. And returning she brought the good news: and Raguel and Anna his
+wife blessed the Lord,
+
+8:17. And said: We bless thee, O Lord God of Israel, because it hath not
+happened as we suspected.
+
+8:18. For thou hast shewn thy mercy to us, and hast shut out from us the
+enemy that persecuted us.
+
+8:19. And thou hast taken pity upon two only children. Make them, O
+Lord, bless thee more fully: and to offer up to thee a sacrifice of thy
+praise, and of their health, that all nations may know, that thou alone
+art God in all the earth.
+
+8:20. And immediately Raguel commanded his servants, to fill up the pit
+they had made, before it was day.
+
+8:21. And he spoke to his wife to make ready a feast, and prepare all
+kind of provisions that are necessary for such as go a journey.
+
+8:22. He caused also two fat kine, and four wethers to be killed, and a
+banquet to be prepared for all his neighbours, and all his friends,
+
+8:23. And Raguel adjured Tobias, to abide with him two weeks.
+
+8:24. And of all things which Raguel possessed, he gave one half to
+Tobias, and made a writing, that the half that remained should after
+their decease come also to Tobias.
+
+Tobias Chapter 9
+
+The angel Raphael goeth to Gabelus, receiveth the money, and bringeth
+him to the marriage.
+
+9:1. Then Tobias called the angel to him, whom he took to be a man, and
+said to him: Brother Azarias, I pray thee hearken to my words:
+
+9:2. If I should give myself to be thy servant I should not make a
+worthy return for thy care.
+
+9:3. However, I beseech thee, to take with thee beasts and servants, and
+to go to Gabelus to Rages the city of the Medes: and to restore to him
+his note of hand, and receive of him the money, and desire him to come
+to my wedding.
+
+9:4. For thou knowest that my father numbereth the days: and if I stay
+one day more, his soul will be afflicted.
+
+9:5. And indeed thou seest how Raguel hath adjured me, whose adjuring I
+cannot despise.
+
+9:6. Then Raphael took four of Raguel's servants, and two camels, and
+went to Rages the city of the Medes: and finding Gabelus, gave him his
+note of hand, and received of him all the money.
+
+9:7. And he told him concerning Tobias the son of Tobias, all that had
+been done: and made him come with him to the wedding.
+
+9:8. And when he was come into Raguel's house he found Tobias sitting at
+the table: and he leaped up, and they kissed each other: and Gabelus
+wept, and blessed God,
+
+9:9. And said: The God of Israel bless thee, because thou art the son of
+a very good and just man, and that feareth God, and doth almsdeeds:
+
+9:10. And may a blessing come upon thy wife and upon your parents.
+
+9:11. And may you see your children, and your children's children, unto
+the third and fourth generation: and may your seed be blessed by the God
+of Israel, who reigneth for ever and ever.
+
+9:12. And when all had said, Amen, they went to the feast: but the
+marriage feast they celebrated also with the fear of the Lord.
+
+Tobias Chapter 10
+
+The parents lament the long absence of their son Tobias. He sets out to
+return.
+
+10:1. But as Tobias made longer stay upon occasion of the marriage,
+Tobias his father was solicitous, saying: Why thinkest thou doth my son
+tarry, or why is he detained there?
+
+10:2. Is Gabelus dead, thinkest thou, and no man will pay him the money?
+
+10:3. And he began to be exceeding sad, both he and Anna his wife with
+him: and they began both to weep together, because their son did not
+return to them on the day appointed.
+
+10:4. But his mother wept and was quite disconsolate, and said: Woe, woe
+is me, my son; why did we send thee to go to a strange country, the
+light of our eyes, the staff of our old age, the comfort of our life,
+the hope of our posterity?
+
+10:5. We having all things together in thee alone, ought not to have let
+thee go from us.
+
+10:6. And Tobias said to her: Hold thy peace, and be not troubled, our
+son is safe: that man with whom we sent him is very trusty.
+
+10:7. But she could by no means be comforted, but daily running out
+looked round about, and went into all the ways by which there seemed any
+hope he might return, that she might if possible see him coming afar
+off.
+
+10:8. But Raguel said to his son in law: Stay here, and I will send a
+messenger to Tobias thy father, that thou art in health.
+
+10:9. And Tobias said to him: I know that my father and mother now count
+the days, and their spirit is grievously afflicted within them.
+
+10:10. And when Raguel had pressed Tobias with many words, and he by no
+means would hearken to him, he delivered Sara unto him, and half of all
+his substance in menservants, and womenservants, in cattle, in camels,
+and in kine, and in much money, and sent him away safe and joyful from
+him,
+
+10:11. Saying: The holy angel of the Lord be with you in your journey,
+and bring you through safe, and that you may find all things well about
+your parents, and my eyes may see your children before I die.
+
+10:12. And the parents taking their daughter kissed her, and let her go:
+
+10:13. Admonishing her to honour her father and mother in law, to love
+her husband, to take care of the family, to govern the house, and to
+behave herself irreprehensibly.
+
+Tobias Chapter 11
+
+Tobias anointeth his father's eyes with the fish's gall, and he
+recovereth his sight.
+
+11:1. And as they were returning they came to Charan, which is in the
+midway to Ninive, the eleventh day.
+
+11:2. And the angel said: Brother Tobias, thou knowest how thou didst
+leave thy father.
+
+11:3. If it please thee therefore, let us go before, and let the family
+follow softly after us, together with thy wife, and with the beasts.
+
+11:4. And as this their going pleased him, Raphael said to Tobias: Take
+with thee of the gall of the fish, for it will be necessary. So Tobias
+took some of that gall and departed.
+
+11:5. But Anna sat beside the way daily, on the top of a hill, from
+whence she might see afar off.
+
+11:6. And while she watched his coming from that place, she saw him afar
+off, and presently perceived it was her son coming: and returning she
+told her husband, saying: Behold thy son cometh.
+
+11:7. And Raphael said to Tobias: As soon as thou shalt come into thy
+house, forthwith adore the Lord thy God: and giving thanks to him, go to
+thy father, and kiss him.
+
+11:8. And immediately anoint his eyes with this gall of the fish, which
+thou carriest with thee. For be assured that his eyes shall be presently
+opened, and thy father shall see the light of heaven, and shall rejoice
+in the sight of thee.
+
+11:9. Then the dog, which had been with them in the way, ran before, and
+coming as if he had brought the news, shewed his joy by his fawning and
+wagging his tail.
+
+The dog, etc... This may seem a very minute circumstance to be recorded
+in sacred history: but as we learn from our Saviour, St. Matt. 5.18,
+there are iotas and tittles in the word of God: that is to say, things
+that appear minute, but which have indeed a deep and mysterious meaning
+in them.
+
+11:10. And his father that was blind, rising up, began to run stumbling
+with his feet: and giving a servant his hand, went to meet his son.
+
+11:11. And receiving him kissed him, as did also his wife, and they
+began to weep for joy.
+
+11:12. And when they had adored God, and given him thanks, they sat down
+together.
+
+11:13. Then Tobias taking of the gall of the fish, anointed his father's
+eyes.
+
+11:14. And he stayed about half an hour: and a white skin began to come
+out of his eyes, like the skin of an egg.
+
+11:15. And Tobias took hold of it, and drew it from his eyes, and
+recovered his sight.
+
+11:16. And they glorified God, both he and his wife and all that knew
+him.
+
+11:17. And Tobias said: I bless thee, O Lord God of Israel, because thou
+hast chastised me, and thou hast saved me and behold I see Tobias my
+son.
+
+11:18. And after seven days Sara his son's wife and all the family
+arrived safe, and the cattle, and the camels, and an abundance of money
+of his wife's: and that money also which he had received of Gabelus,
+
+11:19. And he told his parents all the benefits of God, which he had
+done to him by the man that conducted him.
+
+11:20. And Achior and Nabath the kinsmen of Tobias came, rejoicing for
+Tobias, and congratulating with him for all the good things that God had
+done for him.
+
+11:21. And for seven days they feasted and rejoiced all with great joy.
+
+Tobias Chapter 12
+
+Raphael maketh himself known.
+
+12:1. Then Tobias called to him his son and said to him: What can we
+give to this holy man, that is come with thee?
+
+12:2. Tobias answering, said to his father: Father, what wages shall we
+give him? or what can be worthy of his benefits?
+
+12:3. He conducted me and brought me safe again, he received the money
+of Gabelus, he caused me to have my wife, and he chased from her the
+evil spirit, he gave joy to her parents, myself he delivered from being
+devoured by the fish, thee also he hath made to see the light of heaven,
+and we are filled with all good things through him. What can we give him
+sufficient for these things?
+
+12:4. But I beseech thee, my father, to desire him, that he would
+vouchsafe to accept of one half of all things that have been brought.
+
+12:5. So the father and the son calling him, took him aside: and began
+to desire him that he would vouchsafe to accept of half of all things
+that they had brought,
+
+12:6. Then he said to them secretly, Bless ye the God of heaven, give
+glory to him in the sight of all that live, because he hath shewn his
+mercy to you.
+
+12:7. For it is good to hide the secret of a king: to reveal and confess
+the works of God.
+
+12:8. Prayer is good with fasting and alms more than to lay up treasures
+of gold.
+
+12:9. For alms delivereth from death, and the same is that which purgeth
+away sins, and maketh to find mercy and life everlasting.
+
+12:10. But they that commit sin and iniquity, are enemies to their own
+soul.
+
+12:11. I discover then the truth unto you, and I will not hide the
+secret from you.
+
+12:12. When thou didst pray with tears, and didst bury the dead, and
+didst leave thy dinner, and hide the dead by day in thy house, and bury
+them by night, I offered thy prayer to the Lord.
+
+12:13. And because thou wast acceptable to God, it was necessary that
+temptation should prove thee.
+
+12:14. And now the Lord hath sent me to heal thee, and to deliver Sara
+thy son's wife from the devil.
+
+12:15. For I am the angel Raphael, one of the seven, who stand before
+the Lord.
+
+12:16. And when they had heard these things, they were troubled, and
+being seized with fear they fell upon the ground on their face.
+
+12:17. And the angel said to them: Peace be to you, fear not.
+
+12:18. For when I was with you, I was there by the will of God: bless ye
+him, and sing praises to him.
+
+12:19. I seemed indeed to eat and to drink with you but I use an
+invisible meat and drink, which cannot be seen by men.
+
+12:20. It is time therefore that I return to him that sent me: but bless
+ye God, and publish all his wonderful works.
+
+12:21. And when he had said these things, he was taken from their sight,
+and they could see him no more.
+
+12:22. Then they lying prostrate for three hours upon their face,
+blessed God, and rising up, they told all his wonderful works.
+
+Tobias Chapter 13
+
+Tobias the father praiseth God, exhorting all Israel to do the same.
+Prophesieth the restoration and better state of Jerusalem.
+
+13:1. And Tobias the elder opening his mouth, blessed the Lord, and
+said: Thou art great O Lord, for ever, and thy kingdom is unto all ages.
+
+13:2. For thou scourgest, and thou savest: thou leadest down to hell,
+and bringest up again: and there is none that can escape thy hand.
+
+13:3. Give glory to the Lord, ye children of Israel, and praise him in
+the sight of the Gentiles:
+
+13:4. Because he hath therefore scattered you among the Gentiles, who
+know not him, that you may declare his wonderful works, and make them
+know that there is no other almighty God besides him.
+
+13:5. He hath chastised us for our iniquities: and he will save us for
+his own mercy.
+
+13:6. See then what he hath done with us, and with fear and trembling
+give ye glory to him: and extol the eternal King of worlds in your
+works.
+
+13:7. As for me, I will praise him in the land of my captivity: because
+he hath shewn his majesty toward a sinful nation,
+
+13:8. Be converted therefore, ye sinners, and do justice before God,
+believing that he will shew his mercy to you.
+
+13:9. And I and my soul will rejoice in him.
+
+13:10. Bless ye the Lord, all his elect, keep days of joy, and give
+glory to him.
+
+13:11. Jerusalem, city of God, the Lord hath chastised thee for the
+works of thy hands.
+
+Jerusalem... What is prophetically delivered here, and in the following
+chapter, with relation to Jerusalem, is partly to be understood of the
+rebuilding of the city after the captivity: and partly of the spiritual
+Jerusalem, which is the church of Christ, and the eternal Jerusalem in
+heaven.
+
+13:12. Give glory to the Lord for thy good things, and bless the God
+eternal that he may rebuild his tabernacle in thee, and may call back
+all the captives to thee, and thou mayst rejoice for ever and ever.
+
+13:13. Thou shalt shine with a glorious light: and all the ends of the
+earth shall worship thee,
+
+13:14. Nations from afar shall come to thee: and shall bring gifts, and
+shall adore the Lord in thee, and shall esteem thy land as holy.
+
+13:15. For they shall call upon the great name in thee,
+
+13:16. They shall be cursed that shall despise thee: and they shall be
+condemned that shall blaspheme thee: and blessed shall they be that
+shall build thee up,
+
+13:17. But thou shalt rejoice in thy children, because they shall all be
+blessed, and shall be gathered together to the Lord.
+
+13:18. Blessed are all they that love thee, and that rejoice in thy
+peace,
+
+13:19. My soul, bless thou the Lord, because the Lord our God hath
+delivered Jerusalem his city from all her troubles.
+
+13:20. Happy shall I be if there shall remain of my seed, to see the
+glory of Jerusalem.
+
+13:21. The gates of Jerusalem shall be built of sapphire, and of
+emerald, and all the walls thereof round about of precious stones.
+
+13:22. All its streets shall be paved with white and clean stones: and
+Alleluia shall be sung in its streets,
+
+13:23. Blessed be the Lord, who hath exalted it, and may he reign over
+it for ever and ever, Amen.
+
+Tobias Chapter 14
+
+Old Tobias dieth at the age of a hundred and two years, after exhorting
+his son and grandsons to piety, foreshewing that Ninive shall be
+destroyed, and Jerusalem rebuilt.  The younger Tobias returneth with his
+family to Raguel, and dieth happily as he had lived.
+
+14:1. And the words of Tobias were ended. And after Tobias was restored
+to his sight, he lived two and forty years, and saw the children of his
+grandchildren.
+
+14:2. And after he had lived a hundred and two years, he was buried
+honorably in Ninive.
+
+14:3. For he was six and fifty years old when he lost the sight of his
+eyes, and sixty when he recovered it again.
+
+14:4. And the rest of his life was in joy, and with great increase of
+the fear of God he departed in peace.
+
+14:5. And at the hour of his death he called unto him his son Tobias and
+his children, seven young men, his grandsons, and said to them:
+
+14:6. The destruction of Ninive is at hand: for the word of the Lord
+must be fulfilled: and our brethren, that are scattered abroad from the
+land of Israel, shall return to it.
+
+14:7. And all the land thereof that is desert shall be filled with
+people, and the house of God which is burnt in it, shall again be
+rebuilt: and all that fear God shall return thither.
+
+14:8. And the Gentiles shall leave their idols, and shall come into
+Jerusalem, and shall dwell in it.
+
+14:9. And all the kings of the earth shall rejoice in it, adoring the
+King of Israel.
+
+14:10. Hearken therefore, my children, to your father: serve the Lord in
+truth, and seek to do the things that please him:
+
+14:11. And command your children that they do justice and almsdeeds, and
+that they be mindful of God, and bless him at all times in truth, and
+with all their power.
+
+14:12. And now, children, hear me, and do not stay here: but as soon as
+you shall bury your mother by me in one sepulchre, without delay direct
+your steps to depart hence:
+
+14:13. For I see that its iniquity will bring it to destruction.
+
+14:14. And it came to pass that after the death of his mother, Tobias
+departed out of Ninive with his wife, and children, and children's
+children, and returned to his father and mother in law.
+
+14:15. And he found them in health in a good old age: and he took care
+of them, and he closed their eyes: and all the inheritance of Raguel's
+house came to him: and he saw his children's children to the fifth
+generation.
+
+14:16. And after he had lived ninety-nine years in the fear of the Lord,
+with joy they buried him.
+
+14:17. And all his kindred, and all his generation continued in good
+life, and in holy conversation, so that they were acceptable both to
+God, and to men, and to all that dwelt in the land.

+Project Gutenberg eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the US
+unless a copyright notice is included.  Thus, we usually do not
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+We are now trying to release all our eBooks one year in advance
+of the official release dates, leaving time for better editing.
+Please be encouraged to tell us about any error or corrections,

+
+We produce about two million dollars for each hour we work.  The
+time it takes us, a rather conservative estimate, is fifty hours
+to get any eBook selected, entered, proofread, edited, copyright
+searched and analyzed, the copyright letters written, etc.   Our
+projected audience is one hundred million readers.  If the value
+per text is nominally estimated at one dollar then we produce $2
+million dollars per hour in 2002 as we release over 100 new text
+files per month:  1240 more eBooks in 2001 for a total of 4000+
+We are already on our way to trying for 2000 more eBooks in 2002
+If they reach just 1-2% of the world's population then the total
+will reach over half a trillion eBooks given away by year's end.
+
+The Goal of Project Gutenberg is to Give Away 1 Trillion eBooks!
+This is ten thousand titles each to one hundred million readers,
+which is only about 4% of the present number of computer users.

+We are constantly working on finishing the paperwork to legally
+request donations in all 50 states.  If your state is not listed and
+you would like to know if we have added it since the list you have,
+just ask.
+
+While we cannot solicit donations from people in states where we are
+not yet registered, we know of no prohibition against accepting
+donations from donors in these states who approach us with an offer to
+donate.
+
+International donations are accepted, but we don't know ANYTHING about
+how to make them tax-deductible, or even if they CAN be made
+deductible, and don't have the staff to handle it even if there are
+ways.
+
+Donations by check or money order may be sent to:
+
+Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+PMB 113
+1739 University Ave.
+Oxford, MS 38655-4109
+
+Contact us if you want to arrange for a wire transfer or payment
+method other than by check or money order.
+
+The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation has been approved by
+the US Internal Revenue Service as a 501(c)(3) organization with EIN
+[Employee Identification Number] 64-622154.  Donations are
+tax-deductible to the maximum extent permitted by law.  As fund-raising
+requirements for other states are met, additions to this list will be
+made and fund-raising will begin in the additional states.
+
+We need your donations more than ever!

+you may distribute copies of this eBook if you want to.
+

+ABOUT PROJECT GUTENBERG-TM EBOOKS
+This PROJECT GUTENBERG-tm eBook, like most PROJECT GUTENBERG-tm eBooks,
+is a "public domain" work distributed by Professor Michael S. Hart
+through the Project Gutenberg Association (the "Project").
+Among other things, this means that no one owns a United States copyright
+on or for this work, so the Project (and you!) can copy and
+distribute it in the United States without permission and
+without paying copyright royalties. Special rules, set forth
+below, apply if you wish to copy and distribute this eBook
+under the "PROJECT GUTENBERG" trademark.
+
+Please do not use the "PROJECT GUTENBERG" trademark to market
+any commercial products without permission.
+
+To create these eBooks, the Project expends considerable
+efforts to identify, transcribe and proofread public domain
+works. Despite these efforts, the Project's eBooks and any
+medium they may be on may contain "Defects". Among other
+things, Defects may take the form of incomplete, inaccurate or
+corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other
+intellectual property infringement, a defective or damaged
+disk or other eBook medium, a computer virus, or computer
+codes that damage or cannot be read by your equipment.
+
+LIMITED WARRANTY; DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES
+But for the "Right of Replacement or Refund" described below,
+[1] Michael Hart and the Foundation (and any other party you may
+receive this eBook from as a PROJECT GUTENBERG-tm eBook) disclaims
+all liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including
+legal fees, and [2] YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE OR
+UNDER STRICT LIABILITY, OR FOR BREACH OF WARRANTY OR CONTRACT,

+
+If you discover a Defect in this eBook within 90 days of
+receiving it, you can receive a refund of the money (if any)
+you paid for it by sending an explanatory note within that

+such person may choose to alternatively give you a replacement
+copy. If you received it electronically, such person may
+choose to alternatively give you a second opportunity to
+receive it electronically.
