* And when they had supped , they brought Tobias in unto her . * And as he went , he remembered the words of Raphael , and took the ashes of the perfumes , and put the heart and the liver of the fish thereupon , and made a smoke therewith . * The which smell when the evil spirit had smelled , he fled into the utmost parts of Egypt , and the angel bound him . * And after that they were both shut in together , Tobias rose out of the bed , and said , Sister , arise , and let us pray that God would have pity on us . * Then began Tobias to say , Blessed art thou , O God of our fathers , and blessed is thy holy and glorious name for ever ; let the heavens bless thee , and all thy creatures . * Thou madest Adam , and gavest him Eve his wife for an helper and stay : of them came mankind : thou hast said , It is not good that man should be alone ; let us make unto him an aid like unto himself . * And now , O Lord , I take not this my sister for lush but uprightly : therefore mercifully ordain that we may become aged together . * And she said with him , Amen . * So they slept both that night . And Raguel arose , and went and made a grave , * Saying , I fear lest he also be dead . * But when Raguel was come into his house , * He said unto his wife Edna . Send one of the maids , and let her see whether he be alive : if he be not , that we may bury him , and no man know it . * So the maid opened the door , and went in , and found them both asleep , * And came forth , and told them that he was alive . * Then Raguel praised God , and said , O God , thou art worthy to be praised with all pure and holy praise ; therefore let thy saints praise thee with all thy creatures ; and let all thine angels and thine elect praise thee for ever . * Thou art to be praised , for thou hast made me joyful ; and that is not come to me which I suspected ; but thou hast dealt with us according to thy great mercy . * Thou art to be praised because thou hast had mercy of two that were the only begotten children of their fathers : grant them mercy , O Lord , and finish their life in health with joy and mercy . * Then Raguel bade his servants to fill the grave . * And he kept the wedding feast fourteen days . * For before the days of the marriage were finished , Raguel had said unto him by an oath , that he should not depart till the fourteen days of the marriage were expired ; * And then he should take the half of his goods , and go in safety to his father ; and should have the rest when I and my wife be dead .
