5 so he asked him where he was from. "I am an Israelite," Raphael answered, "one of your distant relatives, and I have come here to Nineveh to find work." "Do you know the way to Media?" Tobias asked.

Tobit 5:5 In-Context

3 Tobit replied, "Gabael and I both signed a document. I then tore it in two, and we each took a half. I put his half with the money. That was twenty years ago! Now, go and find a reliable person to travel with you to Media and back, and we will pay him when you return. But you must get the money that I left with Gabael."

4 Tobias then went out to look for someone who knew the way to Media and would travel with him. Almost as soon as he left the house, he found himself face-to-face with Raphael. Tobias did not know that Raphael was an angel of God,

5 so he asked him where he was from. "I am an Israelite," Raphael answered, "one of your distant relatives, and I have come here to Nineveh to find work." "Do you know the way to Media?" Tobias asked.

6 "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."

7 Then Tobias said to Raphael, "Wait here for me, my friend, while I go in and tell my father. I would like for you to travel with me, and I will pay you for the journey."
