¹ Tobias called Raphael and said to him, ² “Brother Azarias, please take with you a manservant and two camels and go to Rages in Media. ³ Call on Gabael, give him the receipt and recover the money. Then invite Gabael to the wedding feast. You saw that Ragouel made me swear an oath, so I may not depart from this house with out breaking the oath. ⁴ Yet you know that my father is counting the days and if I delay longer than necessary he will be worried.

⁵ Raphael set out for Rages in Media and stayed the night in Gabael’s house. Raphael presented him with the receipt, and Gabael brought out the sealed bags of money and gave them to him. ⁶ The next morning they arose early and set off to the wedding. When they entered Ragouel’s house, they found Tobias at the table. Gabael went to him and embraced him. He wept and blessed Tobias saying, “Good and worthy man, son of a good and honest father, a man who is just and compassionate, may the Lord of Heaven bless you and your wife. May he also bless the father and mother of your wife. Blessed be God because I have seen To bias, my cousin, who is so like his father.”
