Tobit 8:2-4

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

²As he went he remembered the words of Raph′ael, and he took the live ashes of incense and put the heart and liver of the fish upon them and made a smoke. ³And when the demon smelled the odor he fled to the remotest parts of Egypt, and the angel bound him. ⁴When the door was shut and the two were alone, Tobi′as got up from the bed and said, “Sister, get up, and let us pray that the Lord may have mercy upon us.”^[a]

8.4 Vulgate reads (verses 4-6): “Then Tobias exhorted the virgin, and said to her: Sara, arise, and let us pray to God today, and tomorrow, and the next day: because for these three nights we are joined to God: and when the third night is over, we will be in our own wedlock. ⁵For we are the children of saints, and we must not be joined together like heathens that know not God. ⁶So they both arose, and prayed earnestly both together that health might be given them.”
