3\u00a0<\/a><\/span>And Raguel asked them, From whence are ye, brethren? To whom they said, We are of the sons of Nephthalim, which are captives in Nineve. <\/div>

5\u00a0<\/a><\/span>And they said, He is both alive, and in good health: and Tobias said, He is my father. <\/div>
6\u00a0<\/a><\/span>Then Raguel leaped up, and kissed him, and wept, <\/div>

10\u00a0<\/a><\/span>For it is meet that thou shouldest marry my daughter: nevertheless I will declare unto thee the truth. <\/div>
11\u00a0<\/a><\/span>I have given my daughter in marriage to seven men, who died that night they came in unto her: nevertheless for the present be merry. But Tobias said, I will eat nothing here, till we agree and swear one to another. <\/div>
12\u00a0<\/a><\/span>Raguel said, Then take her from henceforth according to the manner, for thou art her cousin, and she is thine, and the merciful God give you good success in all things. <\/div>
13\u00a0<\/a><\/span>Then he called his daughter Sara, and she came to her father, and he took her by the hand, and gave her to be wife to Tobias, saying, Behold, take her after the law of Moses, and lead her away to thy father. And he blessed them; <\/div>
14\u00a0<\/a><\/span>And called Edna his wife, and took paper, and did write an instrument of covenants, and sealed it. <\/div>
15\u00a0<\/a><\/span>Then they began to eat. <\/div>
16\u00a0<\/a><\/span>After Raguel called his wife Edna, and said unto her, Sister, prepare another chamber, and bring her in thither. <\/div>
17\u00a0<\/a><\/span>Which when she had done as he had bidden her, she brought her thither: and she wept, and she received the tears of her daughter, and said unto her, <\/div>
18\u00a0<\/a><\/span>Be of good comfort, my daughter; the Lord of heaven and earth give thee joy for this thy sorrow: be of good comfort, my daughter. <\/div>
