10
Then Raguel arose, and gave him Sara his wife, and half his goods, servants, and cattle, and
money:
11
And he blessed them, and sent them away, saying, The God of heaven give you a prosperous
journey, my children.
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 of thee. And he kissed her. Edna also said to Tobias, The Lord
of heaven restore thee, my dear brother, and grant that I may see thy children of my daughter Sara
before I die, that I may rejoice before the Lord: behold, I commit my daughter unto thee of special
trust; where are do not entreat her evil.
CHAPTER 11
After these things Tobias went his way, praising God that he had given him a prosperous journey,
and blessed Raguel and Edna his wife, and went on his way till they drew near unto Nineve.
2
Then Raphael said to Tobias, Thou knowest, brother, how thou didst leave thy father:
3
Let us haste before thy wife, and prepare the house.
4
And take in thine hand the gall of the fish. So they went their way, and the dog went after
them.
5
Now Anna sat looking about toward the way for her son.
6
And when she espied him coming, she said to his father, Behold, thy son cometh, and the man
that went with him.
7
Then said Raphael, I know, Tobias, that thy father will open his eyes.
8
Therefore anoint thou his eyes with the gall, and being pricked therewith, he shall rub, and the
whiteness shall fall away, and he shall see thee.
9
Then Anna ran forth, and fell upon the neck of her son, and said unto him, Seeing I have seen
thee, my son, from henceforth I am content to die. And they wept both.
10
Tobit also went forth toward the door, and stumbled: but his son ran unto him,
11
And took hold of his father: and he strake of the gall on his fathers' eyes, saying, Be of good
hope, my father.
12
And when his eyes began to smart, he rubbed them;
13
And the whiteness pilled away from the corners of his eyes: and when he saw his son, he fell
upon his neck.
14
And he wept, and said, Blessed art thou, O God, and blessed is thy name for ever; and blessed
are all thine holy angels:
15
For thou hast scourged, and hast taken pity on me: for, behold, I see my son Tobias. And his
son went in rejoicing, and told his father the great things that had happened to him in Media.
16
Then Tobit went out to meet his daughter in law at the gate of Nineve, rejoicing and praising
God: and they which saw him go marvelled, because he had received his sight.
