Tobit 4:1-3

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

Tobit Gives Instructions to His Son

4 On that day Tobit remembered the money which he had left in trust with Gab′ael at Rages in Media, and he said to himself: ² “I have asked for death. Why do I not call my son Tobi′as so that I may explain to him about the money^[a] before I die?” ³ So he called him and said, “My son, when I die, bury me, and do not neglect your mother. Honor her all the days of your life; do what is pleasing to her, and do not grieve her.
