Tobit 5:7-9

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

⁷ Then Tobias said to him, “Wait for me, young man, until I go in and tell my father, for I do need you to travel with me, and I will pay you your wages.” ⁸ He replied, “All right, I will wait, but do not take too long.”

⁹ So Tobias went in to tell his father Tobit and said to him, “I have just found a man who is one of our own Israelite kindred!” He replied, “Call the man in so that I may learn about his people and to what tribe he belongs and whether he is trustworthy enough to go with you, my son.”
