3I, Tobit, walked in the ways of truth and righteousness all the days of my life, and I performed many acts of charity to my brethren and countrymen who went with me into the land of the Assyrians, to Nineveh.Tobit's early life. Tob.1.3-5
4Now when I was in my own country, in the land of Israel, while I was still a young man, the whole tribe of Naphtali my forefather deserted the house of Jerusalem. This was the place which had been chosen from among all the tribes of Israel, where all the tribes should sacrifice and where the temple of the dwelling of the Most High was consecrated and established for all generations for ever.  καὶ ὅτε ἤμην ἐν τῇ χώρᾳ μου ἐν γῇ Ισραηλ καὶ ὅτε ἤμην νέος, πᾶσα ἡ φυλὴ Νεφθαλιμ τοῦ πατρός μου ἀπέστησαν ἀπὸ τοῦ οἴκου Δαυιδ τοῦ πατρός μου καὶ ἀπὸ Ιερουσαλημ πόλεως τῆς ἐκλεγείσης ἐκ πασῶν φυλῶν Ισραηλ εἰς τὸ θυσιάζειν πάσαις φυλαῖς Ισραηλ· καὶ ἡγιάσθη ὁ ναὸς τῆς κατασκηνώσεως τοῦ θεοῦ καὶ ᾠκοδομήθη ἐν αὐτῇ εἰς πάσας τὰς γενεὰς τοῦ αἰῶνος.
5All the tribes that joined in apostasy used to sacrifice to the calf Baal, and so did the house of Naphtali my forefather.
