5:16. And Tobias said to him: I pray thee, tell me, of what family, or
what tribe art thou?
5:17. And Raphael the angel answered: Dost thou seek the family of him
thou hirest, or the hired servant himself to go with thy son?
5:18. But lest I should make thee uneasy, I am Azarias the son of the
great Ananias.
Azarias... The angel took the form of Azarias: and therefore might call
himself by the name of the man whom he personated. Azarias, in Hebrew,
signifies the help of God, and Ananias the grace of God.
5:19. And Tobias answered: Thou art of a great family. But I pray thee
be not angry that I desired to know thy family.
5:20. And the angel said to him: I will lead thy son safe, and bring him
to thee again safe.
5:21. And Tobias answering, said: May you have a good journey, and God
be with you in your way, and his angel accompany you.
5:22. Then all things being ready, that were to be carried in their
journey, Tobias bade his father and his mother farewell, and they set
out both together.
5:23. And when they were departed, his mother began to weep, and to say:
Thou hast taken the staff of our old age, and sent him away from us.
5:24. I wish the money for which thou hast sent him, had never been.
5:25. For our poverty was sufficient for us, that we might account it as
riches, that we saw our son.
5:26. And Tobias said to her: Weep not, our son will arrive thither
safe, and will return safe to us, and thy eyes shall see him.
5:27. For I believe that the good angel of God doth accompany him, and
doth order all things well that are done about him, so that he shall
return to us with joy.
5:28. At these words his mother ceased weeping, and held her peace.
Tobias Chapter 6
By the angel's advice young Tobias taketh hold on a fish that assaulteth
him. Reserveth the heart, the gall, and the liver for medicines. They
lodge at the house of Raguel, whose daughter Sara, Tobias is to marry;
she had before been married to seven husbands, who were all slain by a
devil.
6:1. And Tobias went forward, and the dog followed him, and he lodged
the first night by the river of Tigris.
6:2. And he went out to wash his feet, and behold a monstrous fish came
up to devour him.
6:3. And Tobias being afraid of him, cried out with a loud voice,
saying: Sir, he cometh upon me.
6:4. And the angel said to him: Take him by the gill, and draw him to
thee. And when he had done so, he drew him out upon the land, and he
began to pant before his feet.
6:5. Then the angel said to him: Take out the entrails of this fish, and
lay up his heart, and his gall, and his liver for thee: for these are
necessary for useful medicines.
6:6. And when he had done so, he roasted the flesh thereof, and they
took it with them in the way: the rest they salted as much as might
serve them, till they came to Rages the city of the Medes.
6:7. Then Tobias asked the angel, and said to him: I beseech thee,
brother Azarias, tell me what remedies are these things good for, which
thou hast bid me keep of the fish?
6:8. And the angel, answering, said to him: If thou put a little piece
of its heart upon coals, the smoke thereof driveth away all kind of
devils, either from man or from woman, so that they come no more to
them.
