2
Then the young man went down to wash himself. A fish leaped up from the river and would have swallowed the young man;
3
and the angel said to him, "Catch the fish." So the young man seized the fish and threw it up on the land.
4
Then the angel said to him, "Cut open the fish and take the heart and liver and gall and put them away safely."
5
So the young man did as the angel told him; and they roasted and ate the fish. And they both continued on their way until they came near to Ecbatana.
6
Then the young man said to the angel, "Brother Azarias, of what use is the liver and heart and gall of the fish?"
