:16
And when thou shalt come into the marriage chamber, thou
shalt take the ashes of perfume, and shalt lay upon them some of
the heart and liver of the fish, and shalt make a smoke with it:
Tob 6:17
And the devil shall smell it, and flee away, and never come
again any more: but when thou shalt come to her, rise up both of
you, and pray to God which is merciful, who will have pity on
you, and save you: fear not, for she is appointed unto thee from
the beginning; and thou shalt preserve her, and she shall go
with thee. Moreover I suppose that she shall bear thee children.
Now when Tobias had heard these things, he loved her, and his
heart was effectually joined to her.
Tob 7:1
And when they were come to Ecbatane, they came to the house
of Raguel, and Sara met them: and after they had saluted one
another, she brought them into the house.
Tob 7:2
Then said Raguel to Edna his wife, How like is this young man
to Tobit my cousin!
Tob 7:3
And Raguel asked them, From whence are ye, brethren? To whom
they said, We are of the sons of Nephthalim, which are captives
in Nineve.
Tob 7:4
Then he said to them, Do ye know Tobit our kinsman? And they
said, We know him. Then said he, Is he in good health?
Tob 7:5
And they said, He is both alive, and in good health: and
Tobias said, He is my father.
Tob 7:6
Then Raguel leaped up, and kissed him, and wept,
Tob 7:7
And blessed him, and said unto him, Thou art the son of an
honest and good man. But when he had heard that Tobit was blind,
he was sorrowful, and wept.
Tob 7:8
And likewise Edna his wife and Sara his daughter wept.
Moreover they entertained them cheerfully; and after that they
had killed a ram of the flock, they set store of meat on the
table. Then said Tobias to Raphael, Brother Azarias, speak of
those things of which thou didst talk in the way, and let this
business be dispatched.
Tob 7:9
So he communicated the matter with Raguel: and Raguel said to
Tobias, Eat and drink, and make merry:
Tob 7:10
For it is meet that thou shouldest marry my daughter:
nevertheless I will declare unto thee the truth.
Tob 7:11
I have given my daughter in marriage to seven men, who died
that night they came in unto her: nevertheless for the present
be merry. But Tobias said, I will eat nothing here, till we
agree and swear one to another.
Tob 7:12
Raguel said, Then take her from henceforth according to the
manner, for thou art her cousin, and she is thine,
