the sons of Ramah and of Gaba, six hundred and one and twenty;

the men of Ramah and of Gaba, six hundred and one and twenty;

the sons of Acud, the sons of Uta, the sons of Ketab, the sons of Gaba, the sons of Subai, the sons of Anan, the sons of Cathua, the sons of Geddur,

and (when) he saw Gabael needy, that was of his lineage, with much company of his kin, Tobit gave to him, under an obligation, [or under writing], (or pledge), the foresaid weight of silver.

Also, my son, I show (or I tell) to thee, that while thou were yet a little child, I gave ten talents of silver to Gabael, in Rages, a city of Media; and I have his obligation with me; [I show also to thee, my son, me to have given ten talents of silver, while yet thou were a little infant, to Gabael, in Rages, city of Medes; and the writ of it with me I have;]

but I know not, how I shall get this money; Gabael knoweth not me, and I know not him; what token shall I give to him? but neither I knew anytime the way, by which me goeth thither.

To whom he answered, I know it, and I have gone often all the ways thereof, and I have dwelled with Gabael, your cousin/your brother, that dwelleth in Rages, a city of Media, which city is set in Ecbatana. [To whom he answered, I have known, and all the ways of it oftentimes I have gone, and have dwelled with Gabael, your brother, that dwelleth in Rages, city of Media, that is set in the hill of Ecbatana.]

Then Tobit said to him, Whether thou mayest lead my son to Gabael into Rages, a city of Media, and when thou comest again, I shall restore thy meed to thee? [And so said Tobit to him, Whether shalt thou be able to full lead my son to Gabael into Rages, city of Media, and when the comest again, I shall yield to thee thy meed?]

Nevertheless I beseech thee, that thou take to (or with) thee (some) beasts, either (or and some) servants, and go thou to Gabael into Rages, a city of Media, and yield or betake thou to him his obligation; and take of (or from) him the money that he oweth to my father, and pray him to come to my weddings. [Neverthelater I beseech thee, that thou take to thee beasts, or services, and go to Gabael into Rages, city of Media, and yield to him his writ; and thou shalt receive of him money, and pray him to come to my bridals.]

Then Raphael took four of the servants of Raguel, and two camels, and went into Rages, a city of Media, and he found Gabael, and gave to him his obligation [or his writ], and received of (or from) him all the money;

and he showed (or told) to him of (or about) Tobias, the son of Tobit, and all (the) things that were done. And he made Gabael to come with him to the weddings [or to the bridals].

And when Gabael entered into the house of Raguel, he found Tobias sitting at the meat (or the meal); and he skipped up/and Tobias rose up anon (or at once), and they kissed themselves together (or and they greeted each other).

And Gabael wept, and blessed God, and said, The Lord God of Israel bless thee, for thou art the son of a full good man, and just [or rightwise], and dreading God, and doing alms-deeds;

Guesseth thou, whether Gabael is dead, and no man yieldeth to him the money?

Then also Sarah, the wife of his son, entered after seven days, and all the meine (or all the household), and the beasts whole, and (the) camels, and much money of (or with) the wife, but also the money which he had received of Gabael (and also the money which Tobias had received from Gabael). [Also after seven days Sarah, the wife of his son, came in, and all the meine, and the beasts whole, and the camels, and much money of the wife, but and the money that had taken of Gabael.]

He led me forth, and brought me (back) whole again/and he hath brought me again whole; and he received of (or from) Gabael the money that he owed to thee; and he made me to have a wife, and he drove away the fiend [or the devil] from her; he made joy to (or for) her father and mother; he delivered me from the devouring of a fish; and he made thee to see the light of heaven; and we be full-filled with all goods by him; what thing worthy to these things may we give to him?

(In the Greek Esther, verses 1-6 that follow conclude the Prologue to Chapter 1; in the Hebrew Esther, they would be placed at verse 21 of Chapter 2.)

Forsooth Mordecai dwelled (at) that time in the hall of the king, with Bigthan (or Gabatha) and Teresh (or Tharra), the honest servants and chaste (or the honest and chaste servants) of the king, that were porters, (or doorkeepers, or guards), of the palace. [Forsooth he dwelt (at) that time in the hall of the king, with Bigthan and Teresh, geldings of the king, that porters were of the palace.]
