20
For before the days of the marriage were finished, Raguel had said unto him by an oath, that
he should not depart till the fourteen days of the marriage were expired;
21
And then he should take the half of his goods, and go in safety to his father; and should have
the rest when I and my wife be dead.
CHAPTER 9
Then Tobias called Raphael, and said unto him,
2
Brother PrAzarias, take with thee a servant, and two camels, and go to Rages of Media to
Gabael, and bring me the money, and bring him to the wedding.
3
For Raguel hath sworn that I shall not depart.
4
But my father counteth the days; and if I tarry long, he will be very sorry.
5
So Raphael went out, and lodged with Gabael, and gave him the handwriting: who brought
forth bags which were sealed up, and gave them to him.
6
And early in the morning they went forth both together, and came to the wedding: and Tobias
blessed his wife.
CHAPTER 10
Now Tobit his father counted every day: and when the days of the journey were expired, and they
came not,
2
Then Tobit said, Are they detained? or is Gabael dead, and there is no man to give him the
money?
3
Therefore he was very sorry.
4
Then his wife said unto him, My son is dead, seeing he stayeth long; and she began to wail
him, and said,
5
Now I care for nothing, my son, since I have let thee go, the light of mine eyes.
6
To whom Tobit said, Hold thy peace, take no care, for he is safe.
7
But she said, Hold thy peace, and deceive me not; my son is dead. And she went out every
day into the way which they went, and did eat no meat on the daytime, and ceased not whole nights
to bewail her son Tobias, until the fourteen days of the wedding were expired, which Raguel had
sworn that he should spend there. Then Tobias said to Raguel, Let me go, for my father and my
mother look no more to see me.
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.
9
But Tobias said, No; but let me go to my father.
