To him the angel said, "I will go with thee; and I know the way well, for I have lodged with our brother Gabael."
7
Then Tobias said unto him, "Tarry for me, till I tell my father."
8
Then he said unto him, "Go, and tarry not." So he went in and said to his father, "Behold, I have found one who will go with me." Then he said, "Call him unto me, that I may know of what tribe he is and whether he be a trusty man to go with thee."
9
So he called him; and he came in, and they saluted one another.
10
Then Tobit said unto him, "Brother, show me of what tribe and family thou art."
11
To whom he said, "Dost thou seek for a tribe or family, or a hired man to go with thy son?" Then Tobit said unto him, "I would know, brother, thy kindred and name."
12
Then he said, "I am Azarias, the son of Ananias the great, and of thy brethren."
13
Then Tobit said, "Thou art welcome, brother. Be not now angry with me because I have inquired to know thy tribe and thy family; for thou art my brother, of an honest and good stock. For I know Ananias and Jonathas, sons of that great Samaias, as we went together to Jerusalem to worship, and offered the first-born, and the tenths of the fruits; and they were not seduced by the error of our brethren. My brother, thou art of a good stock.
14
But tell me, what wages shall I give thee? Wish thou a drachma a day and things necessary, as to mine own son?
15
Yea, moreover, if ye return safe, I will add something to thy wages."
16
So they were well pleased. Then said he to Tobias, "Prepare thyself for the journey, and God send you a good journey." And when his son had prepared all things for the journey, his father said, "Go thou with this man; and God who dwelleth in heaven prosper your journey, and the angel of God keep you company." So they both went forth, and the young man's dog with them.
