* Now Tobit his father counted every day : and when the days of the journey were expired , and they came not , * Then Tobit said , Are they detained ? or is Gabael dead , and there is no man to give him the money ? * Therefore he was very sorry . * Then his wife said unto him , My son is dead , seeing he stayeth long ; and she began to wail him , and said , * Now I care for nothing , my son , since I have let thee go , the light of mine eyes . * To whom Tobit said , Hold thy peace , take no care , for he is safe . * But she said , Hold thy peace , and deceive me not ; my son is dead . And she went out every day into the way which they went , and did eat no meat on the daytime , and ceased not whole nights to bewail her son Tobias , until the fourteen days of the wedding were expired , which Raguel had sworn that he should spend there . Then Tobias said to Raguel , Let me go , for my father and my mother look no more to see me . * But his father in law said unto him , Tarry with me , and I will send to thy father , and they shall declare unto him how things go with thee . * But Tobias said , No ; but let me go to my father . * Then Raguel arose , and gave him Sara his wife , and half his goods , servants , and cattle , and money : * And he blessed them , and sent them away , saying , The God of heaven give you a prosperous journey , my children . * And he said to his daughter , Honour thy father and thy mother in law , which are now thy parents , that I may hear good report of thee . And he kissed her . Edna also said to Tobias , The Lord of heaven restore thee , my dear brother , and grant that I may see thy children of my daughter Sara before I die , that I may rejoice before the Lord : behold , I commit my daughter unto thee of special trust ; where are do not entreat her evil .
