1
And when they had supped they brought Tobias in unto her
2
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
3
The which smell when the evil spirit had smelled he fled into the utmost parts of Egypt and the angel bound him
4
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
5
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
6
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
7
And now O Lord I take not this my sister for lust but uprightly therefore mercifully ordain that we may become aged together
8
And she said with him Amen
9
So they slept both that night And Raguel arose and went and made a grave
10
Saying I fear lest he also be dead
11
But when Raguel was come into his house
12
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
13
So the maid opened the door and went in and found them both asleep
14
And came forth and told them that he was alive
15
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
16
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
17
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
18
Then Raguel bade his servants to fill the grave
19
And he kept the wedding feast fourteen days
20
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
21
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
