to Gabelus at
Rages, a city of the Medes? and when thou shalt return, I will pay thee
thy hire.

5:15. And the angel said to him: I will conduct him thither, and bring
him back to thee.

5:16. And Tobias said to him: I pray thee, tell me, of what family, or
what tribe art thou?

5:17. And Raphael the angel answered: Dost thou seek the family of him
thou hirest, or the hired servant himself to go with thy son?

5:18. But lest I should make thee uneasy, I am Azarias the son of the
great Ananias.

Azarias... The angel took the form of Azarias: and therefore might call
himself by the name of the man whom he personated. Azarias, in Hebrew,
signifies the help of God, and Ananias the grace of God.

5:19. And Tobias answered: Thou art of a great family. But I pray thee
be not angry that I desired to know thy family.

5:20. And the angel said to him: I will lead thy son safe, and bring him
to thee again safe.

5:21. And Tobias answering, said: May you have a good journey, and God
be with you in your way, and his angel accompany you.

5:22. Then all things being ready, that were to be carried in their
journey, Tobias bade his father and his mother farewell, and they set
out both together.

5:23. And when they were departed, his mother began to weep, and to say:
Thou hast taken the staff of our old age, and sent him away from us.

5:24. I wish the money for which thou hast sent him, had never been.

5:25. For our poverty was sufficient for us, that we might account it as
riches, that we saw our son.

5:26. And Tobias said to her: Weep not, our son will arrive thither
safe, and will return safe to us, and thy eyes shall see him.

5:27. For I believe that the good angel of God doth accompany him, and
doth order all things well that are done about him, so that he shall
return to us with joy.

5:28. At these words his mother ceased weeping, and held her peace.

Tobias Chapter 6

By the angel's advice young Tobias taketh hold on a fish that assaulteth
him. Reserveth the heart, the gall, and the liver for medicines. They
lodge at the house of Raguel, whose daughter Sara, Tobias is to marry;
she had before been married to seven husbands, who were all slain by a
devil.

6:1. And Tobias went forward, and the dog followed him, and he lodged
the first night by the river of Tigris.

6:2. And he went out to wash his feet, and behold a monstrous fish came
up to devour him.

6:3. And Tobias being afraid of him, cried o
