CHAP. V.

4 Yong Tobias seeketh a guide into Media. 6 The Angel will goe with him, 12 and saith he is his kinseman. 16 Tobias and the Angel depart together. 17 But his mother is grieued for her sonnes departing.

¹Tobias then answered and said, Father, I will doe all things, which thou hast commanded me.

²But how can I receiue the money, seeing, I know him not?

³Then he gaue him the handwriting, and said vnto him, Seeke thee a man which may goe with thee whiles I yet liue, and I will giue him wages, and goe, and receiue the money.

⁴Therefore when he went to seeke a man, he found Raphael that was an Angell.

⁵But he knew not; and he said vnto him, Canst thou goe with me to Rages? & knowest thou those places well?

⁶To whom the Angel said, I will goe with thee, and I know the way well: for I haue lodged with our brother Gabael.

⁷Then Tobias said vnto him, Tary for me till I tell my father.

⁸Then he said vnto him, Goe and tary not; so he went in, and said to his father; Behold, I haue found one, which wil goe with me. Then he said, Call him vnto me, that I may know of what tribe he is, and whether hee be a trustie man to goe with thee.

⁹So he called him, and he came in, and they saluted one another.

¹⁰Then Tobit said vnto him, Brother, shew me of what tribe and family thou art.

¹¹To whom hee said, Doest thou seeke for a tribe or family, or an hired man to goe with thy sonne? Then Tobit said vnto him, I would know, brother, thy kinred, and name.

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.

¹⁷But Anna his mother wept, and said to Tobit, Why hast thou sent away our sonne? is hee not the staffe of our hand, in going in and out before vs?

¹⁸Be not greedy (to adde) money to money: but let it bee as refuse in respect of our childe.¹⁸

¹⁹For that which the Lord hath giuen vs to liue with, doeth suffice vs.¹⁹

²⁰Then said Tobit to her, Take no care my sister he shal returne in safety, and thine eyes shall see him.

²¹For the good Angel will keepe him company, and his iourney shall be prosperous, and he shall returne safe.

²²Then she made an end of weeping.
