Tobit rewarded for his piety

After I was taken captive to Assyria and came to Nineveh, all my relatives and fellow Jews there were eating Gentile food.

Tobit is harassed for his pious acts

During the time of Shalmaneser, I gave away a lot of money to my relatives, my fellow Jews.

Tobit declared to them that God had shown mercy on him and opened his eyes. Then Tobit approached Sarah, his son Tobias’ wife, and he blessed her, saying, “May you come in good health, my daughter; may your God who has brought you to us be praised. May your father be blessed, may my son Tobias be blessed, and may you be blessed, my daughter. Come into your house in good health, in blessing and joy. Come in, my daughter!” On this day joy came to all the Jews who were in Nineveh.
