hich 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.
Tob 5:9
So he called him, and he came in, and they saluted one
another.
Tob 5:10
Then Tobit said unto him, Brother, shew me of what tribe and
family thou art.
Tob 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.
Tob 5:12
Then he said, I am Azarias, the son of Ananias the great, and
of thy brethren.
Tob 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.
Tob 5:14

a day, and things necessary, as to mine own son?
Tob 5:15

prosper your journey, and the angel of God keep you company. So
they went forth both, and the young man's dog with them.
Tob 5:17

sent away our son? is he not the staff of our hand, in going in
and out before us?
Tob 5:18
Be not greedy to add money to money: but let it be as refuse
in respect of our child.
Tob 5:19
For that which the Lord hath given us to live with doth

Tob 5:20

Tob 5:21
For the good angel will keep him company, and his journey

Tob 6:1
And as they went on their journey, they came in the evening
