Tobit 1:8-10
Common English Bible
8 I gave this to orphans and widows, and to Gentiles who had joined Israel. In the third year, when I brought and gave it to them, we would eat together according to the instruction recorded in Moses’ Law, as Deborah my grandmother[a] had taught me (for my father had died and left me an orphan).
9 When I became an adult, I married a woman from our clan.[b] Together we had a son, whom I named Tobias.
Tobit rewarded for his piety
10 After I was taken captive to Assyria and came to Nineveh,[c] all my relatives and fellow Jews there were eating Gentile food.
