(10:7-9)
[And when] the fourteen days of the [wedding] were completed for them which Raguel had sworn to make for Sarah his daughter, To**iah came [to him] and said to him, Send me away (for) I already know that [my father does not believe, n]or does my mother believe that she will see m[e] again. And now I request [y]ou, my father, that you send me away that I may go to my father. Already I have recounted to you how I left them. (8) And Raguel said to Tobiah, My son, remain with me and I will send messengers to Tobit y[o]ur father and the[y] …

(10:1) Now day by day Tobith was counting the days on which Tobias would need for going and for coming back. And when the days had been completed and his son did not appear, (2) he said, “Perhaps he has been detained there? Or perhaps Gabael has died, and no one is giving him the silver?” (3) And he began to grieve. (4) Then Hanna his wife said, “My child has perished and is no longer among the living.” And she began to weep and mourn for her son, and she said, (5) “Woe to me, my child, the light of my eyes, that I let you go!” (6) But Tobith said to her, “Be quiet, and do not worry, my sister; he is in good health. And they probably had a distraction there. Also the man who went with him is trustworthy and is one of our kindred. Do not grieve for him, my sister; he will soon be here.” (7) Then she said to him, “Be quiet; away from me! And stop deceiving me! My child has perished.” And she would rush out every day and watch the road on which her son had gone, and she would not believe anyone. And when the sun had set she would go in and mourn and weep the whole night and get no sleep.
Now when the fourteen days of the wedding feast had ended that Ragouel had sworn to have for his daughter, Tobias came to him and said, “Send me back, for I know my father and mother do not believe that they will see me again. So now I beg you, father, that you send me away and that I may go to my father. I have already explained to you how I left him.” (8) But Ragouel said to Tobias, “Stay, my child, stay with me, and I shall send messengers to Tobis your father, and they will inform him about you.” (9) But he said to him, “By no means! I beg you that you send me back from here to my father.” (10) So Ragouel got up and gave Tobias Sarra his wife and half of all his property—male and female slaves, oxen and sheep, asses and camels, clothing and silver and utensils.

(10:1) Now Tobit his father was counting each day, and when the days for the journey had expired and they did not come (2) he said, “Perhaps they were disppointed? Or perhaps Gabael has died, and no one is giving him the silver?” (3) And he grieved very much. (4) Then the wife said to him, “My child has perished; that is why he has delayed.” And she began to mourn him and said, (5) “Do I not care, my child, they I let you go, the light of my eyes?” (6) But Tobit said to her, “Be quiet, do not worry; he is in good health.” (7) And she said to him, “Be quiet; stop deceiving me! My child has perished.” And she would go out every day to the road outside by which they had left; during the day she ate no food, and during the nights she never stopped mourning for Tobias her son, until the fourteen days of the wedding feast had ended which Ragouel had sworn that he should have there.
Then Tobias said to Ragouel, “Send me back, for my father and mother do not hope to see me again.” (8) But his father-in-law said to him, “Stay with me, and I will send others to your father, and they will tell him how things are with you.” (9) But Tobias said, “No, rather send me back to my father.” (10) So Ragouel arose and gave him Sarra his wife and half of his property—slaves and cattle and silver.

(10:1) But as Tobias made longer stay upon occasion of the marriage, Tobias his father was solicitous, saying: Why thinkest thou doth my son tarry, or why is he detained there? (2) Is Gabelus dead, thinkest thou, and no man will pay him the money? (3) And he began to be exceeding sad, both he and Anna his wife with him: and they began both to weep together: because their son did not return to them on the day appointed. (4) But his mother wept and was quite disconsolate, and said: Woe, woe is me, my son; why did we send thee to go to a strange country, the light of our eyes, the staff of our old age, the comfort of our life, the hope of our posterity? (5) We having all things together in thee alone, ought not to have let thee go from us.
(6) And Tobias said to her: Hold thy peace, and be not troubled, our son is safe: that man with whom we sent him is very trusty. (7) But she could by no means be comforted, but daily running out looked round about, and went into all the ways by which there seemed any hope he might return, that she might if possible see him coming afar off. (8) But Raguel said to his son in law: Stay here, and I will send a messenger to Tobias thy father, that thou art in health. (9) And Tobias said to him: I know that my father and mother now count the days, and their spirit is grievously afflicted within them. (10) And when Raguel had pressed Tobias with many words, and he by no means would hearken to him, he delivered Sara unto him, and half of all his substance in menservants, and womenservants, in cattle, in camels, and in kine, and in much money, and sent him away safe and joyful from him.**
