Then Tobias called Raphael and said to him, | The journey to Rages. Tob.9.1-6 |
| 2 |
"Brother Azarias, take a servant and two camels with you and go to Gabael at Rages in Media and get the money for me; and bring him to the wedding feast. | |
| 3 |
For Raguel has sworn that I should not leave; | |
| 4 |
but my father is counting the days, and if I delay long he will be greatly distressed." | |
| 5 |
So Raphael made the journey and stayed over night with Gabael. He gave him the receipt, and Gabael brought out the money bags with their seals intact and gave them to him. | |
| 6 |
In the morning they both got up early and came to the wedding feast. When they came into Raguel's house they found Tobias reclining at table. He sprang up and greeted Gabael, who wept and blessed him with the words, 'Good and noble son of a father good and noble, upright and generous! May the Lord grant the blessing of heaven to you and your wife, and to you wife's father and mother. Blessed be God, for I see in Tobias the very image of my cousin Tobit.' | |
