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.
8:18 Then Raguel bade his servants to fill the grave.
8:19 And he kept the wedding feast fourteen days.
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;
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.
9:1 Then Tobias called Raphael, and said unto him,
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.
9:3 For Raguel hath sworn that I shall not depart.
9:4 But my father counteth the days; and if I tarry long, he will be
very sorry.
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.
9:6 And early in the morning they went forth both together, and came to
the wedding: and Tobias blessed his wife.
10:1 Now Tobit his father counted every day: and when the days of the
journey were expired, and they came not,
10:2 Then Tobit said, Are they detained? or is Gabael dead, and there
is no man to give him the money?
10:3 Therefore he was very sorry.
10:4 Then his wife said unto him, My son is dead, seeing he stayeth
long; and she began to bewail him, and said,
10:5 Now I care for nothing, my son, since I have let thee go, the
light of mine eyes.
10:6 To whom Tobit said, Hold thy peace, take no care, for he is safe.
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.
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.
10:9 But Tobias said, No; but let me go to my father.
10:10 Then Raguel arose, and gave him Sara his wife, and half his
goods, servants, and cattle, and money:
10:11 And he blessed them, and sent them away, saying, The God of
heaven give you a prosperous journey, my children.
