7:8. And Anna his wife, and Sara their daughter wept.
7:9. And after they had spoken, Raguel commanded a sheep to be killed,
and a feast to be prepared. And when he desired them to sit down to
dinner,
7:10. Tobias said: I will not eat nor drink here this day, unless thou
first grant me my petition, and promise to give me Sara thy daughter.
7:11. Now when Raguel heard this he was afraid, knowing what had
happened to those seven husbands, that went in unto her: and he began to
fear lest it might happen to him also in like manner: and as he was in
suspense, and gave no answer to his petition,
7:12. The angel said to him: Be not afraid to give her to this man, for
to him who feareth God is thy daughter due to be his wife: therefore
another could not have her.
7:13. Then Raguel said: I doubt not but God hath regarded my prayers and
tears in his sight.
7:14. And I believe he hath therefore made you come to me, that this
maid might be married to one of her own kindred, according to the law of
Moses: and now doubt not but I will give her to thee.
7:15. And taking the right hand of his daughter, he gave it into the
right hand of Tobias, saying: The God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac,
and the God of Jacob be with you, and may he join you together, and
fulfil his blessing in you.
7:16. And taking paper they made a writing of the marriage.
7:17. And afterwards they made merry, blessing God.
7:18. And Raguel called to him Anna his wife, and bade her to prepare
another chamber.
7:19. And she brought Sara her daughter in thither, and she wept.
7:20. And she said to her: Be of good cheer, my daughter: the Lord of
heaven give thee joy for the trouble thou hast undergone.
Tobias Chapter 8
Tobias burneth part of the fish's liver, and Raphael bindeth the devil.
Tobias and Sara pray.
8:1. And after they had supped, they brought in the young man to her.
8:2. And Tobias remembering the angel's word, took out of his bag part
of the liver, and laid it upon burning coals.
8:3. Then the angel Raphael took the devil, and bound him in the desert
of upper Egypt.
8:4. Then Tobias exhorted the virgin, and said to her: Sara, arise, and
let us pray to God to day, and to morrow, and the next day: because for
these three nights we are joined to God: and when the third night is
over, we will be in our own wedlock.
8:5. For we are the children of saints, and we must not be joined
together like heathens that know not God.
8:6. So they both arose, and prayed earnestly both together that health
might be given them,
8:7. And Tobias said: Lord God of our fathers, may the heavens and the
earth, and the sea, and the fountains, and the rivers, and all thy
creatures that are in them, bless thee.
8:8. Thou madest Adam of the slime of the earth, and gavest him Eve for
a helper.
8:9. And now, Lord, thou knowest, that not for fleshly lust do I take my
sister to wife, but only for the love of posterity, in which thy name
may be blessed for ever and ever.
8:10. Sara also said: Have mercy on us, O Lord, have mercy on us, and
let us grow old both together in health.
