9:10. And may a blessing come upon thy wife and upon your parents.
9:11. And may you see your children, and your children's children, unto
the third and fourth generation: and may your seed be blessed by the God
of Israel, who reigneth for ever and ever.
9:12. And when all had said, Amen, they went to the feast: but the

Tobias Chapter 10
The parents lament the long absence of their son Tobias. He sets out to
return.
10:1. But as Tobias made longer stay upon occasion of the marriage,
Tobias his father was solicitous, saying: Why thinkest thou doth my son
tarry, or why is he detained there?
10:2. Is Gabelus dead, thinkest thou, and no man will pay him the money?
10:3. And he began to be exceeding sad, both he and Anna his wife with
him: and they began both to weep together, because their son did not
return to them on the day appointed.
10:4. But his mother wept and was quite disconsolate, and said: Woe, woe
is me, my son; why did we send thee to go to a strange country, the
light of our eyes, the staff of our old age, the comfort of our life,
the hope of our posterity?
10:5. We having all things together in thee alone, ought not to have let
thee go from us.
10:6. And Tobias said to her: Hold thy peace, and be not troubled, our
son is safe: that man with whom we sent him is very trusty.
10:7. But she could by no means be comforted, but daily running out
looked round about, and went into all the ways by which there seemed any
hope he might return, that she might if possible see him coming afar
off.
10:8. But Raguel said to his son in law: Stay here, and I will send a
messenger to Tobias thy father, that thou art in health.
10:9. And Tobias said to him: I know that my father and mother now count
the days, and their spirit is grievously afflicted within them.
10:10. And when Raguel had pressed Tobias with many words, and he by no
means would hearken to him, he delivered Sara unto him, and half of all
his substance in menservants, and womenservants, in cattle, in camels,
and in kine, and in much money, and sent him away safe and joyful from
him,
10:11. Saying: The holy angel of the Lord be with you in your journey,
and bring you through safe, and that you may find all things well about
your parents, and my eyes may see your children before I die.
10:12. And the parents taking their daughter kissed her, and let her go:
10:13. Admonishing her to honour her father and mother in law, to love
her husband, to take care of the family, to govern the house, and to
behave herself irreprehensibly.
Tobias Chapter 11
Tobias anointeth his father's eyes with the fish's gall, and he
recovereth his sight.
11:1. And as they were returning they came to Charan, which is in the
midway to Ninive, the eleventh day.
11:2. And the angel said: Brother Tobias, thou knowest how thou didst
leave thy father.
11:3. If it please thee therefore, let us go before, and let the family
follow softly after us, together with thy wife, and with the beasts.
11:4. And as this their going pleased him, Raphael said to Tobias: Take
with thee of the gall of the fish, for it will be necessary. So Tobias
took some of that gall and departed.
