Then Tobias said to Raguel, Let me go, for my father and my
mother look no more to see me.
Tob 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.
Tob 10:9
But Tobias said, No; but let me go to my father.
Tob 10:10
Then Raguel arose, and gave him Sara his wife, and half his
goods, servants, and cattle, and money:
Tob 10:11
And he blessed them, and sent them away, saying, The God of
heaven give you a prosperous journey, my children.
Tob 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
