Raguel said to Tobias, "Stay, my child. Stay with me. I'll send messengers to Tobit your father, and they will report to him about you."

Tobias replied, "Absolutely not! I ask that you allow me to return to my father."

So Raguel arose and gave to Tobias his wife Sarah and half of all his possessions, including servants and female servants, oxen and sheep, donkeys and camels, clothes, money, and furnishings.

He sent them away safely and said farewell to Tobias. "Good-bye, my son. Have a safe trip! May the Lord of heaven cause you and your wife Sarah to prosper! May I see your children before I die!"

Raguel said to his daughter Sarah, "Go to your father-in-law, since from now on they are your parents, just as if they had conceived you. Go in peace, my daughter! May I hear a good report about you as long as I'm alive!" Having said good-bye, he allowed them to go. Then Edna said to Tobias, "My child and dearly loved brother, may the Lord bring you back, and may I see your children while I'm still alive and those of my daughter before I die! In the Lord's presence I entrust my daughter into your care. Don't ever be a cause of grief to her, not as long as you live. Go in peace, my child! From now on I'm your mother, and Sarah is your sister. May all our ways prosper together all the days of our lives!" Then she kissed them both and sent them safely on their way.
