engLXXup: Tobit 11

=> Chapters

 [1] After these things Tobias went his way, praising God that he had given him a prosperous journey, and blessed Raguel and Edna his wife, and went on his way till they drew near unto Nineveh.

 [2] Then Raphael said to Tobias, Dost thou not know, brother, how thou didst leave thy father?  [3] let us hasten before thy wife, and prepare the house;  [4] and take in thy hand the gall of the fish. So they went their way, and the dog went after them.  [5] Now Anna sat looking about toward the way for her son.  [6] And when she espied him coming, she said to his father, Behold, thy son cometh, and the man that went with him.

 [7] Then said Raphael, I know, Tobias, that thy father will open his eyes.  [8] Therefore anoint thou his eyes with the gall, and being pricked therewith, he shall rub, and the whiteness shall fall away, and he shall see thee.

 [9] Then Anna ran forth, and fell upon the neck of her son, and said unto him, Seeing I have seen thee, my son, from henceforth I am content to die. And they wept both.  [10] Tobit also went forth toward the door, and stumbled: but his son ran unto him,  [11] and took hold of his father: and he strake of the gall on his father’s eyes, saying, Be of good hope, my father.  [12] And when his eyes began to smart, he rubbed them;  [13] and the whiteness pilled away from the corners of his eyes: and when he saw his son, he fell upon his neck.

 [14] And he wept, and said, Blessed art thou, O God, and blessed is thy name forever; and blessed are all thy holy angels:  [15] for thou hast scourged, and hast taken pity on me: for, behold, I see my son Tobias. And his son went in rejoicing, and told his father the great things that had happened to him in Media.

 [16] Then Tobit went out to meet his daughter-in-law at the gate of Nineveh, rejoicing, and praising God: and they which saw him go marveled, because he had received his sight.  [17] But Tobit gave thanks before them, because God had mercy on him. And when he came near to Sarah his daughter-in-law, he blessed her, saying, Thou art welcome, daughter: God be blessed, which hath brought thee unto us, and blessed be thy father and thy mother. And there was joy among all his brethren which were at Nineveh.  [18] And Ahikar, and Nadab his brother’s son, came:  [19] and Tobias’ wedding was kept seven days with great joy.
