Tobit 5:12-14

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹² He replied, “I am Azari′as the son of the great Anani′as, one of your relatives.” ¹³ Then Tobit said to him, “You are welcome, my brother. Do not be angry with me because I tried to learn your tribe and family. You are a relative of mine, of a good and noble lineage. For I used to know Anani′as and Jathan, the sons of the great Shema′iah, when we went together to Jerusalem to worship and offered the first-born of our flocks and the tithes of our produce. They did not go astray in the error of our brethren. My brother, you come of good stock. ¹⁴ But tell me, what wages am I to pay you—a drachma a day, and expenses for yourself as for my son?
