1When they reached Ecbatana, Tobiah said to Raphael, “Brother Azariah, take me straight to our brother Raguel.” So they arrived at Raguel’s house, where they found him seated by the courtyard door. They greeted Raguel, and he replied, “Greetings to you also, brothers. Welcome, and good health to you.” Then Raguel brought them into the house
2and said to his wife, Edna, “This young man looks a lot like my relative Tobit!”
3Then Edna asked them, “Where are you from, brothers?”
They answered, “We belong to the descendants of Naphtali who are exiled in Nineveh.”
4She asked them, “Do you know our relative Tobit?”
“We certainly do!”
Then she asked them, “Is he in good health?”
5They answered, “He is alive and well.” Then Tobiah added, “He is my father!”
6Raguel jumped up, kissed him, and wept.
7Then he said, “Bless you, child. You are the son of a good and noble man. What an unfortunate calamity that such a righteous and charitable man became blind!” He embraced Tobiah and wept.
8His wife, Edna, also wept for Tobit, and even their daughter, Sarah, began to weep.
9They showed the visitors a warm welcome by preparing a young ram from the flock for a meal.
When they had washed and sat down to eat, Tobiah said to Raphael, “Brother Azariah, how about asking Raguel if I can marry my relative Sarah?”
10Raguel overheard the question, so he said to the young man, “Eat, drink, and be happy. No man is more entitled to my daughter than you. Indeed, I have no right to give her to anyone else since you are my closest relative. But, my son, let me explain the true situation to you.
11I have given her to seven husbands from our family, and each of them died on his wedding night when he approached her. But don’t be discouraged, my son. Eat and drink, for the Lord will make it work out for both of you.”
But Tobiah said, “I will not eat or drink until we make a binding agreement.”
So Raguel said, “I will do this. She is yours according to the law of Moses, and it has been decreed from heaven that she be given to you. Take her, for you belong to each other. She is yours forever. May the Lord of heaven guide you, my son, and bless you both this night. May he grant you mercy and peace.”
12Then Raguel called for his daughter, Sarah. When she came, he took her by the hand and gave away the bride to Tobiah, saying, “Here she is. Take her to be your wife according to the law of Moses. Take her to your father safely. And may the God of heaven prosper your journey with peace.”
13Then Raguel called the young woman’s mother and told her to bring him a scroll. On it he wrote out the marriage contract, stating that he was giving Sarah to Tobiah as his wife according to the law of Moses.
14Then they began to eat and drink.
15Then Raguel said to Edna, “Dear wife, prepare the bedroom, and take our daughter there.”[#7:15 Greek Sister.]
16So Edna went and made the bed as she was told. She took Sarah there and began to weep for her. Then she wiped away her tears and said,
17“Be brave, daughter. May the Lord of heaven grant you joy in the place of your sorrow. Be brave, my child.” Then she left.
