Tobit 5:14 Context
12Then he said, I am Azarias, the sonne of Ananias the great, and of thy brethren. 13Then Tobit said, Thou art welcome brother, be not now angry with mee, because I haue enquired to know thy tribe, and thy family, for thou art my brother, of an honest & good stocke: for I know Ananias, and Ionathas sonnes of that great Samaias: as we went together to Ierusalem to worship, and offered the first borne, and the tenths of the fruits, and they were not seduced with the errour of our brethren: my brother, thou art of a good stocke. 14But tell me, what wages shall I giue thee? wilt thou a drachme a day? and things necessary as to my owne sonne? 15Yea moreouer, if ye returne safe, I will adde some thing to the wages. 16So they were well pleased. Then said he to Tobias; Prepare thy selfe for the iourney, and God send you a good iourney. And when his sonne had prepared all things for the iourney, his father said; Goe thou with this man, and God which dwelleth in heauen prosper your iourney, & the Angel of God keepe you company. So they went foorth both, and the yong mans dogge with them.
