1ANd when they were come to Ecbatane, they came to the house of Raguel: and Sarra met them, and after they had saluted one another, she broght them into the house. 2Then said Raguel to Edna his wife, How like is this yong man to Tobit my cousin? 3And Raguel asked, Whence are you, my brethren? To whome thei said, that thei were of the tribe of Nephthalim, and of the captiues that dwelt at Nineue. 4Then he said to them, Do ye knowe Tobit our kinsman? And they said, We knowe him. Then said he, Is he in good health? 5And they said, He is bothe aliue, and in good health: and Tobias said, He is my father. 6Then Raguel leaped, and kissed him, and wept, 7And blessed him, & said vnto him, Thou art the sonne of a good and honest man: but when he had heard that Tobit was blinde, he was sorowful and wept. 8And likewise Edna his wife, and Sarra his daughter wept. Moreouer they receiued them with a readie minde, and after that they had killed a ram of the flocke, thei set muche meat on the table. Then said Tobias to Raphael, Brother Azarias, put forthe those things whereof thou spakest in the waye, that this busines may be dispatched. 9So he communicated the matter with Raguel, and Raguel said to Tobias, Eat, and drinke and make merry. 10For it is mete that thou shuldest marie my daughter: neuertheles, I wil declare vnto thee the trueth. 11I haue giuen my daughter in mariage to seuen men, who dyed that night which thei came in vnto her: neuertheles, be thou of a good courage and merry. But Tobias said, I wil eat nothing here, vntil ye bring her hether, and betrothe her to me. 12Raguel said then, Marie her then according to the custome: for thou art her cousin, and she is thine. God which is merciful, make this prosperous to you in all good things. 13Then he called his daughter Sarra, & she came to her father, and he toke her by the hand, & gaue her for wife to Tobias, saying, Beholde, take her after the Law of Moyses, and lead her away to thy father: and he blessed them, 14And called his wife Edna, and he toke a boke and wrote a contract, and sealed it. 15Then they began to eate. 16After, Raguel called his wife Edna, and said vnto her, Sister, prepare another chamber, and bring her in thether. 17Which when she had done, as he had bidden her, she broght her thether: then Sarra wept and her mother wiped away her daughters teares, 18And said vnto her, Be of good comfort, my daughter: the Lord of heauen & earth giue thee ioye for this thy sorrow: be of good comfort, my daughter.
