Tobias and His Friend Travel to Rages

Tobias and the angel left for Rages,

²with Tobias's dog following along. That night they camped beside the Tigris River,[#6.2 Greek “the dog.”]

³and Tobias went down to wash his feet. Suddenly a big fish jumped out of the water and tried to swallow one of his feet. Tobias let out a scream,

⁴but the angel said, “Quick—grab the fish!” So Tobias grabbed it and dragged it up on the river bank.

⁵The angel said, “Cut it open and take out its heart, liver, and gall bladder, because these can be used for medicine. But throw the rest of its insides away.”

⁶Tobias obeyed the angel. Then he cooked and ate some of the fish and salted the rest to keep it from spoiling. And the next morning, the two of them again set out on their journey.

When they were getting near Media,

⁷Tobias asked the angel, “Azariah, how can these parts from that fish be used as medicine?”

⁸The angel said, “If a demon is causing sickness or trouble for a man or a woman, take the heart and liver and burn them nearby. The smoke will stop the demon from bothering that person ever again.

⁹And if someone has white spots covering their eyes and cannot see, you can rub the gall bladder on their eyes and blow on the white spots, and that person will be able to see again.”
