4:19 Bless the Lord thy God alway, and desire of him that thy ways may
be directed, and that all thy paths and counsels may prosper: for every
nation hath not counsel; but the Lord himself giveth all good things,
and he humbleth whom he will, as he will; now therefore, my son,
remember my commandments, neither let them be put out of thy mind.
4:20 And now I signify this to they that I committed ten talents to
Gabael the son of Gabrias at Rages in Media.
4:21 And fear not, my son, that we are made poor: for thou hast much
wealth, if thou fear God, and depart from all sin, and do that which is
pleasing in his sight.
5:1 Tobias then answered and said, Father, I will do all things which
thou hast commanded me:
5:2 But how can I receive the money, seeing I know him not?
5:3 Then he gave him the handwriting, and said unto him, Seek thee a
man which may go with thee, whiles I yet live, and I will give him
wages: and go and receive the money.
5:4 Therefore when he went to seek a man, he found Raphael that was an
angel.
5:5 But he knew not; and he said unto him, Canst thou go with me to
Rages? and knowest thou those places well?
5:6 To whom the angel said, I will go with thee, and I know the way
well: for I have lodged with our brother Gabael.
5:7 Then Tobias said unto him, Tarry for me, till I tell my father.
5:8 Then he said unto him, Go and tarry not. So he went in and said to
his father, Behold, I have found one which will go with me. Then he
said, Call him unto me, that I may know of what tribe he is, and
whether he be a trusty man to go with thee.
5:9 So he called him, and he came in, and they saluted one another.
5:10 Then Tobit said unto him, Brother, shew me of what tribe and
family thou art.
5:11 To whom he said, Dost thou seek for a tribe or family, or an hired
man to go with thy son? Then Tobit said unto him, I would know,
brother, thy kindred and name.
5:12 Then he said, I am Azarias, the son of Ananias the great, and of
thy brethren.
5:13 Then Tobit said, Thou art welcome, brother; be not now angry with
me, because I have enquired to know thy tribe and thy family; for thou
art my brother, of an honest and good stock: for I know Ananias and
Jonathas, sons of that great Samaias, as we went together to Jerusalem
to worship, and offered the firstborn, and the tenths of the fruits;
and they were not seduced with the error of our brethren: my brother,
thou art of a good stock.
5:14 But tell me, what wages shall I give thee? wilt thou a drachm a
day, and things necessary, as to mine own son?
5:15 Yea, moreover, if ye return safe, I will add something to thy
wages.
