Tobit 4:2-4

Common English Bible

² He said to himself, I have asked for death; I should call my son Tobias and tell him about the money before I die.

³ So he called for his son Tobias, and Tobias came to him. Tobit said to him: “Give me a proper burial. Honor your mother and take care of her^[a] as long as she lives. Do what pleases her and don’t grieve her spirit in any matter. ⁴ Remember her, my son, because she went through many dangers while pregnant with you. And when she dies, bury her next to me in the same grave.
