The Old Testament (Part 2)
2 And the travelers came to the Tigris River in the evening, and there they stopped for the night.
3 The young man went to wash, but a fish appeared from the river and wanted to devour the young man.
4 Then the angel said to him, 'Take this fish.' And the young man grabbed the fish and pulled it to the ground.
5 And the angel said to him, 'Cut the fish, and take the heart, the liver, and the gall, and save them.'
6 And the young man did so, as the angel had told him; and the fish was baked and eaten; and they went on and came to Ecbatana.
7 And the young man said to the angel, 'Brother Azariah, what is the use of this liver, and heart, and gall of the fish?
8 And he answered, If any man be tormented by a demon or an evil spirit, he shall burn with his heart and liver before such a man or woman, and he shall be tormented no more.
9 And with gall to anoint a man who has an eyesore, and he will be healed.
10 And when they were approaching Raga,
11 And the angel said to the young man, 'Brother, now we will spend the night with Raguel, your kinsman, who has a daughter, whose name is Sarah.'
12 I will speak of her, that they may give her to you to be your wife, for her inheritance is destined for you, because you are one of her generation. And the girl is beautiful and smart.
13 So listen to me; I will speak to her father, and when we return from Rag, we will be married. I know Raguel: he will not give her to a stranger, contrary to the law of Moses; otherwise he will be guilty of death, since the inheritance should be received by you, and not by someone else.
14 Then the young man said to the angel, 'Brother Azariah, I have heard that this maiden was given to seven men, but they all perished in the bridal chamber;
15 but I am alone with my father, and I am afraid lest I go in to her, and die like the former; she is loved by a demon who harms no one except those who approach her. Wherefore I fear lest I should die, and bring the lives of my father and my mother to their graves in sorrow for me; and they have no other son to bury them.
