9 And Tobias said, 'No, let me go to my father.'

10 And Raguel arose, and gave him Sarah his wife, and half of his possessions, and the servants, and the cattle, and the silver,

11 And having blessed them, he sent them away, and said, 'Children! may the God of heaven be pleased with you before I die.

12 Then he said to his daughter, 'Honor your father-in-law and mother-in-law; now they are thy parents; I wish to hear a good rumor about you. And he kissed her. And Edna said to Tobias, "Beloved brother, may the Lord of heaven raise you up, and grant me to see the children of my daughter Sarah, that I may rejoice in the Lord." And behold, I give thee my daughter for safekeeping; do not grieve her.

13 And after these things Tobias departed, blessing God, that he had made his way prosperous, and blessed Raguel and Edna his wife. And they went on their way, and they came near to Nineveh.

Chapter 11

1 And Raphael said to Tobias, 'Thou knowest, brother, in what condition thou hast forsaken thy father;

2 Let us go forward before thy wife, and prepare the lodging;

3 And thou shalt take in thy hand also the gall of the fish. And they went; The dog ran after them.

4 And Hannah sat looking for her son in the way,

5 And when she saw him coming, she said to his father, 'Behold, thy son is coming, and the man who went with him.'

6 Raphael said, 'I know, Tobias, that your father's eyes will be opened;

7 Thou shalt only anoint his eyes with gall, and he, when he feels the acridness, will wipe them, and the eyesore shall fall, and he shall see thee.

8 And Hannah ran up and threw herself on the neck of her son, and said to him, 'I have seen you, my child, and now I have at least to die.' And they both began to cry.
