Tobit 5:6-8

Common English Bible

⁶ He replied, “Yes, I have been there many times; I’m familiar with all the roads and know them well. Often I have gone to Media and have spent the night with Gabael, our relative, who lives in Ecbatana^[a] of Media. It is a good two days’ journey from Ecbatana to Rages,^[b] because it is located in a mountainous area while Ecbatana lies in the midst of a plain.”

⁷ Tobias said to him, “Wait here for me, young man, until I go and report this to my father, because I need you to go with me, and I’ll pay your wages.”

⁸ Raphael replied, “All right, I’ll wait. But don’t delay!”
