Then Tobias going forth, found a beautiful young man, standing girded, and as it were ready to walk.
6
And not knowing that he was an angel of God, he saluted him, and said: From whence art thou, good young man?
7
But he answered: Of the children of Israel. And Tobias said to him: Knowest thou the way that leadeth to the country of the Medes?
8
And he answered: I know it: and I have often walked through all the ways thereof, and I have abode with Gabelus our brother, who dwelleth at Rages a city of the Medes, which is situate in the mount of Ecbatana.

And Tobias said to him: Stay for me, I beseech thee, till I tell these same things to my father.
