Tobit 5:7-9

Common English Bible

⁷ Tobias said to him, “Wait here for me, young man, until I go and report this to my father, because I need you to go with me, and I’ll pay your wages.”

⁸ Raphael replied, “All right, I’ll wait. But don’t delay!”

⁹ So Tobias went in and reported to his father Tobit, saying, “Wow, I’ve found a man from among our relatives the Israelites.”

Tobit said to Tobias, “Call the man in to me, my son,^[a] so that I learn who his family is, from which tribe he is, and whether he can be trusted to go with you.”
