Tobit 5:6

6 He replied, "Yes, I have been there many times; I'm familiar with all the roads and know them well. Often I have gone to Media and have spent the night with Gabael, our relative, who lives in Ecbatana of Media. It is a good two days' journey from Ecbatana to Rages, because it is located in a mountainous area while Ecbatana lies in the midst of a plain."

Tobit 5:6 In-Context

4 Then Tobias went out to look for a man who knew the way to Media and would go with him. He went out and found the angel Raphael standing near him, but he didn't know that he was an angel from God.

5 Tobias said to him, "Where are you from, young man?" He said to Tobias, "I am one of the Israelites, your relatives. I have come here to find work." Tobias said to him, "Do you know the way to Media?"

6 He replied, "Yes, I have been there many times; I'm familiar with all the roads and know them well. Often I have gone to Media and have spent the night with Gabael, our relative, who lives in Ecbatana of Media. It is a good two days' journey from Ecbatana to Rages, because it is located in a mountainous area while Ecbatana lies in the midst of a plain."

7 Tobias said to him, "Wait here for me, young man, until I go and report this to my father, because I need you to go with me, and I'll pay your wages."

8 Raphael replied, "All right, I'll wait. But don't delay!"
