[1] And when they had finished their supper, they brought Tobias in to her.
[2] But as he went, he remembered the words of Raphael, and took the ashes of the incense, and put the heart and the liver of the fish thereupon, and made a smoketherewith.
[3] But when the devil smelled the smell, he fled into the uppermost parts of Egypt, and the angel bound him.
[4] But after they were both shut in together, Tobias rose up from the bed, and said, Sister, arise, and let us pray that the Lord may have mercy on us.
[5] And Tobias began to say, Blessed are you, O God of our fathers, and blessed is your holy and glorious name for ever; let the heavens bless you, and all your creatures.
[6] You made Adam, and gave him Eve his wife for a helper and a stay: of them came the seed of men: you did say, it is not good that the man should be alone; let us make him a helper like to him.
[7] And now, O Lord, I take not this my sister for lust, but in truth: command that I may find mercy and grow old with her.
[8] And she said with him, Amen. And they slept both that night.
[9] And Raguel arose, and went and digged a grave,
[10] saying, Lest he also should die.
[11] And Raguel came into his house,
[12] and said to Edna his wife, Send one of the maidservants, and let them see whether he be alive: but if not, that we may bury him, and no man know it.
[13] So the maidservant opened the door, and went in, and found them both sleeping,
[14] and came forth, and told them that he was alive.
[15] And Raguel blessed God, saying, Blessed are you, O God, with all pure and holy blessing; and let your saints bless you, and all your creatures; and let all your angels and your elect bless you for ever.
[16] Blessed are you, because you have made me glad; and it has not befallen me as I suspected; but you have dealt with us according to your great mercy.
[17] Blessed are you, because you have had mercy on two that were the only begotten children of their parents: show them mercy, O Lord; accomplish their life in health with gladness and mercy.
[18] But he commanded his servants to fill the grave.
[19] And he kept the wedding feast for them fourteen days.
[20] And before the days of the wedding feast were finished, Raguel sware to him, that he should not depart till the fourteen days of the wedding feast were fulfilled;
[21] and that then he should take the half of his goods, and go in safety to his father; and the rest,said he, when I and my wife shall die.
