1When they had finished eating, they escorted Tobias in to her. 2As he went he remembered the words of Raphael, and he took the live ashes of incense and put the heart and liver of the fish upon them and made a smoke. 3And when the demon smelled the odour he fled to the remotest parts of Egypt, and the angel bound him.
Tobias' prayer.Tob.8.4-9
4When the door was shut and the two were alone, Tobias got up from the bed and said, "Sister, get up, and let us pray that the Lord may have mercy upon us." 5And Tobias began to pray,
"Blessed are you, O God of our fathers,
and blessed be your holy and glorious name for ever.
Let the heavens and all your creatures bless you. 6You made Adam and gave him Eve his wife as a helper and support.
From them the race of mankind has sprung.
You said, `It is not good that the man should be alone;
let us make a helper for him like himself.'
7And now, O Lord, I am not taking this sister of mine because of lust, but with sincerity. Grant that I may find mercy and may grow old together with her." 8And she said with him, "Amen."
Anxious parents.Tob.8.9-15
9Then they both went to sleep for the night.
But Raguel arose and went and dug a grave, 10with the thought, "Perhaps he too will die." 11Then Raguel went into his house 12and said to his wife Edna, "Send one of the maids to see whether he is alive; and if he is not, let us bury him without any one knowing about it." 13So the maid opened the door and went in, and found them both asleep. 14And she came out and told them that he was alive.
Raguel's prayer.Tob.8.15-18
15Then Raguel blessed God and said,
"Blessed are you, O God, with every pure and holy blessing.
Let your saints and all your creatures bless you;
let all your angels and your chosen people bless you for ever. 16Blessed are you, because you have made me glad.
It has not happened to me as I expected;
but you have treated us according to your great mercy. 17Blessed are you, because you have had compassion on two only children.
Show them mercy, O Lord;
and bring their lives to fulfilment in health and happiness and mercy."
18Then he ordered his servants to fill in the grave.
The wedding feast.Tob.8.19-21
19After this he gave a wedding feast for them which lasted fourteen days. 20And before the days of the feast were over, Raguel declared by oath to Tobias that he should not leave until the fourteen days of the wedding feast were ended, 21that then he should take half of Raguel's property and return in safety to his father, and that the rest would be his "when my wife and I die."
