Tobit 5:6
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 of Media. It is a good two days’ journey from Ecbatana to Rages, because it is located in a mountainous area while Ecbatana lies in the midst of a plain.”
And not knowing that he was an angel of God, he saluted him, and said: From whence art thou, good young man?
Yes, I do, Raphael replied. I have been there many times, and I know all the roads well. I used to stay with our relative Gabael, who lives there in the town of Rages. It takes at least two days to travel there from Ecbatana, the capital city, because Rages is up in the mountains.
“Yes,” he replied, “I have been there many times. I know the place well and am acquainted with all the routes. I have often traveled to Media; I used to stay with our kinsman Gabael, who lives at Rages in Media. It is a good two days’ journey from Ecbatana to Rages, for Rages is situated in the mountains, but Ecbatana is in the middle of the plain.”
“Yes,” he answered. “I have been there many times. I am familiar with all the routes, and I know them well. I have often traveled to Media where I used to stay with Gabael, our kinsman who lives at Rages in Media. It generally takes two full days to travel from Ecbatana to Rages, inasmuch as Rages is situated in a mountainous area while Ecbatana is in the middle of a plain.”
‘Yes,’ he replied, ‘I have been there many times; I am acquainted with it and know all the roads. I have often travelled to Media, and stayed with our kinsman Gabael who lives in Rages of Media. It is a journey of two days from Ecbatana to Rages; for it lies in a mountainous area, while Ecbatana is in the middle of the plain.’
‘Yes,’ he replied, ‘I have been there many times; I am acquainted with it and know all the roads. I have often travelled to Media, and stayed with our kinsman Gabael who lives in Rages of Media. It is a journey of two days from Ecbatana to Rages; for it lies in a mountainous area, while Ecbatana is in the middle of the plain.’
“Yes,” he replied, “I have been there many times; I am acquainted with it and know all the roads. I have often traveled to Media, and would stay with our kinsman Gabael who lives in Rages of Media. It is a journey of two days from Ecbatana to Rages; for it lies in a mountainous area, while Ecbatana is in the middle of the plain.”
“Yes,” he replied, “I have been there many times; I am acquainted with it and know all the roads. I have often traveled to Media and would stay with our kinsman Gabael who lives in Rages of Media. It is a journey of two days from Ecbatana to Rages, for it lies in a mountainous area, while Ecbatana is in the middle of the plain.”
The angel replied, “I will go with you; I am familiar with the way, and I have stayed with our brother Gab′ael.”
The angel replied, “I will go with you; I am familiar with the way, and I have stayed with our brother Gab′ael.”
and he knew not that it was the angel of God. And he greeted the young man, and said, Of whence have we thee, good young man? [and unknowing that an angel of God he was, greeted him, and said, Whence have we thee, good young man?]
