Deuterocanonical Books of the Bible Part 61

Tob 7:7 And blessed him, and said unto him, Thou art the son of an honest and good man. But when he had heard that Tobit was blind, he was sorrowful, and wept.

Tob 7:8 And likewise Edna his wife and Sara his daughter wept.

Moreover they entertained them cheerfully; and after that they had killed a ram of the flock, they set store of meat on the table. Then said Tobias to Raphael, Brother Azarias, speak of those things of which thou didst talk in the way, and let this business be dispatched.

Tob 7:9 So he communicated the matter with Raguel: and Raguel said to Tobias, Eat and drink, and make merry:

Tob 7:10 For it is meet that thou shouldest marry my daughter: nevertheless I will declare unto thee the truth.

Tob 7:11 I have given my daughter in marriage to seven men, who died that night they came in unto her: nevertheless for the present be merry. But Tobias said, I will eat nothing here, till we agree and swear one to another.

Tob 7:12 Raguel said, Then take her from henceforth according to the manner, for thou art her cousin, and she is thine, and the merciful G.o.d give you good success in all things.

Tob 7:13 Then he called his daughter Sara, and she came to her father, and he took her by the hand, and gave her to be wife to Tobias, saying, Behold, take her after the law of Moses, and lead her away to thy father. And he blessed them;

Tob 7:14 And called Edna his wife, and took paper, and did write an instrument of covenants, and sealed it.

Tob 7:15 Then they began to eat.

Tob 7:16 After Raguel called his wife Edna, and said unto her, Sister, prepare another chamber, and bring her in thither.

Tob 7:17 Which when she had done as he had bidden her, she brought her thither: and she wept, and she received the tears of her daughter, and said unto her,

Tob 7:18 Be of good comfort, my daughter; the Lord of heaven and earth give thee joy for this thy sorrow: be of good comfort, my daughter.

Tob 8:1 And when they had supped, they brought Tobias in unto her.

Tob 8:2 And as he went, he remembered the words of Raphael, and took the ashes of the perfumes, and put the heart and the liver of the fish thereupon, and made a smoke therewith.

Tob 8:3 The which smell when the evil spirit had smelled, he fled into the utmost parts of Egypt, and the angel bound him.

Tob 8:4 And after that they were both shut in together, Tobias rose out of the bed, and said, Sister, arise, and let us pray that G.o.d would have pity on us.

Tob 8:5 Then began Tobias to say, Blessed art thou, O G.o.d of our fathers, and blessed is thy holy and glorious name for ever; let the heavens bless thee, and all thy creatures.

Tob 8:6 Thou madest Adam, and gavest him Eve his wife for an helper and stay: of them came mankind: thou hast said, It is not good that man should be alone; let us make unto him an aid like unto himself.

Tob 8:7 And now, O Lord, I take not this my sister for lush but uprightly: therefore mercifully ordain that we may become aged together.

Tob 8:8 And she said with him, Amen.

Tob 8:9 So they slept both that night. And Raguel arose, and went and made a grave,

Tob 8:10 Saying, I fear lest he also be dead.

Tob 8:11 But when Raguel was come into his house,

Tob 8:12 He said unto his wife Edna. Send one of the maids, and let her see whether he be alive: if he be not, that we may bury him, and no man know it.

Tob 8:13 So the maid opened the door, and went in, and found them both asleep,

Tob 8:14 And came forth, and told them that he was alive.

Tob 8:15 Then Raguel praised G.o.d, and said, O G.o.d, thou art worthy to be praised with all pure and holy praise; therefore let thy saints praise thee with all thy creatures; and let all thine angels and thine elect praise thee for ever.

Tob 8:16 Thou art to be praised, for thou hast made me joyful; and that is not come to me which I suspected; but thou hast dealt with us according to thy great mercy.

Tob 8:17 Thou art to be praised because thou hast had mercy of two that were the only begotten children of their fathers: grant them mercy, O Lord, and finish their life in health with joy and mercy.

Tob 8:18 Then Raguel bade his servants to fill the grave.

Tob 8:19 And he kept the wedding feast fourteen days.

Tob 8:20 For before the days of the marriage were finished, Raguel had said unto him by an oath, that he should not depart till the fourteen days of the marriage were expired;

Tob 8:21 And then he should take the half of his goods, and go in safety to his father; and should have the rest when I and my wife be dead.

Tob 9:1 Then Tobias called Raphael, and said unto him,

Tob 9:2 Brother Azarias, take with thee a servant, and two camels, and go to Rages of Media to Gabael, and bring me the money, and bring him to the wedding.

Tob 9:3 For Raguel hath sworn that I shall not depart.

Tob 9:4 But my father counteth the days; and if I tarry long, he will be very sorry.

Tob 9:5 So Raphael went out, and lodged with Gabael, and gave him the handwriting: who brought forth bags which were sealed up, and gave them to him.

Tob 9:6 And early in the morning they went forth both together, and came to the wedding: and Tobias blessed his wife.

Tob 10:1 Now Tobit his father counted every day: and when the days of the journey were expired, and they came not,

Tob 10:2 Then Tobit said, Are they detained? or is Gabael dead, and there is no man to give him the money?

Tob 10:3 Therefore he was very sorry.

Tob 10:4 Then his wife said unto him, My son is dead, seeing he stayeth long; and she began to wail him, and said,

Tob 10:5 Now I care for nothing, my son, since I have let thee go, the light of mine eyes.

Tob 10:6 To whom Tobit said, Hold thy peace, take no care, for he is safe.

Tob 10:7 But she said, Hold thy peace, and deceive me not; my son is dead. And she went out every day into the way which they went, and did eat no meat on the daytime, and ceased not whole nights to bewail her son Tobias, until the fourteen days of the wedding were expired, which Raguel had sworn that he should spend there.

Then Tobias said to Raguel, Let me go, for my father and my mother look no more to see me.

Tob 10:8 But his father in law said unto him, Tarry with me, and I will send to thy father, and they shall declare unto him how things go with thee.

Tob 10:9 But Tobias said, No; but let me go to my father.

Tob 10:10 Then Raguel arose, and gave him Sara his wife, and half his goods, servants, and cattle, and money:
