Tobit 5:12-14

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

¹² He replied, “Why do you need to know my tribe and lineage? Are you seeking an employee or a tribe and lineage?”^[a] But Tobit^[b] said, “I want to be sure, brother, whose son you are and what your name is.” ¹³ He replied, “I am Azariah, the son of the elder Hananiah, one of your relatives.” ¹⁴ Then Tobit^[c] said to him, “You are very welcome, brother. Do not feel bitter toward me, brother, because I wanted to be sure about your family. It turns out that you are a kinsman and of good and noble lineage. For I knew Hananiah and Nathan, the two sons of the elder Shemeliah,^[d] and they used to go with me to Jerusalem and worship with me there; they were not led astray. Your kindred are good people; you are of good stock. Welcome!”^(A)
