Then Tobit answered his son Tobias, ‘He gave me his bond and I gave him my bond. I[a] divided his in two; we each took one part, and I put one with the money. And now twenty years have passed since I left this money in trust. So now, my son, find yourself a trustworthy man to go with you, and we will pay him wages until you return.
