17 Blessed art thou that thou hast had mercy on the two only-begotten! Complete mercy, O Lord, upon them: grant them to end their lives in health, with joy and mercy!

18 And he commanded his servants to bury the grave.

19 And he made a wedding feast for them for fourteen days.

20 And Raguel said to him with an oath before the days of the wedding feast were fulfilled, 'Do not go away until these fourteen days of the wedding feast are completed;

21 And then, having taken half of the possessions, go safely to your father: and the rest you will receive when I and my wife die.

1 And he called Tobias Raphael, and said to him,

2 Brother Azariah, take with you a servant and two camels, and go down to the Ragas of the Medes to Gabael; bring me the silver and bring him to me for marriage;

3 For Raguel hath bound me by an oath, that I should not depart;

4 Meanwhile my father is numbering the days, and if I tarry a long time, he will be very grieved.

5 And Raphael went and stayed with Gabael, and gave him the receipt; and he brought the bags behind the seals and handed them to him.

Then Tobias said to Raguel, Let me go, for my father and mother have no hope of seeing me any more.

8 And his father-in-law said to him, 'Stay with me; I will send to your father, and they will tell him about you.
