10:12 And he said to his daughter, Honour thy father and thy mother in
law, which are now thy parents, that I may hear good report of thee.
And he kissed her. Edna also said to Tobias, The Lord of heaven restore
thee, my dear brother, and grant that I may see thy children of my
daughter Sara before I die, that I may rejoice before the Lord: behold,
I commit my daughter unto thee of special trust; where are do not
entreat her evil.
11:1 After these things Tobias went his way, praising God that he had
given him a prosperous journey, and blessed Raguel and Edna his wife,
and went on his way till they drew near unto Nineve.
11:2 Then Raphael said to Tobias, Thou knowest, brother, how thou didst
leave thy father:
11:3 Let us haste before thy wife, and prepare the house.
11:4 And take in thine hand the gall of the fish. So they went their
way, and the dog went after them.
11:5 Now Anna sat looking about toward the way for her son.
11:6 And when she espied him coming, she said to his father, Behold,
thy son cometh, and the man that went with him.
11:7 Then said Raphael, I know, Tobias, that thy father will open his
eyes.
11:8 Therefore anoint thou his eyes with the gall, and being pricked
therewith, he shall rub, and the whiteness shall fall away, and he
shall see thee.
11:9 Then Anna ran forth, and fell upon the neck of her son, and said
unto him, Seeing I have seen thee, my son, from henceforth I am content
to die. And they wept both.
11:10 Tobit also went forth toward the door, and stumbled: but his son
ran unto him,
11:11 And took hold of his father: and he strake of the gall on his
fathers’ eyes, saying, Be of good hope, my father.
11:12 And when his eyes began to smart, he rubbed them;
11:13 And the whiteness pilled away from the corners of his eyes: and
when he saw his son, he fell upon his neck.
11:14 And he wept, and said, Blessed art thou, O God, and blessed is
thy name for ever; and blessed are all thine holy angels:
11:15 For thou hast scourged, and hast taken pity on me: for, behold, I
see my son Tobias. And his son went in rejoicing, and told his father
the great things that had happened to him in Media.
11:16 Then Tobit went out to meet his daughter in law at the gate of
Nineve, rejoicing and praising God: and they which saw him go
marvelled, because he had received his sight.
11:17 But Tobias gave thanks before them, because God had mercy on him.
And when he came near to Sara his daughter in law, he blessed her,
saying, Thou art welcome, daughter: God be blessed, which hath brought
thee unto us, and blessed be thy father and thy mother. And there was
joy among all his brethren which were at Nineve.
11:18 And Achiacharus, and Nasbas his brother’s son, came:
11:19 And Tobias’ wedding was kept seven days with great joy.
12:1 Then Tobit called his son Tobias, and said unto him, My son, see
that the man have his wages, which went with thee, and thou must give
him more.
