Then they both went to sleep for the night. But Raguel arose and went and dug a grave,
10
with the thought, "Perhaps he too will die."
11
Then Raguel went into his house
12
and said to his wife Edna, "Send one of the maids to see whether he is alive; and if he is not, let us bury him without any one knowing about it."
13
So the maid opened the door and went in, and found them both asleep.
14
And she came out and told them that he was alive.
15
Then Raguel blessed God and said, "Blessed art thou, O God, with every pure and holy blessing. Let thy saints and all thy creatures bless thee; let all thy angels and thy chosen people bless thee for ever.
16
Blessed art thou, because thou hast made me glad. It has not happened to me as I expected; but thou hast treated us according to thy great mercy.
17
Blessed art thou, because thou hast had compassion on two only children. Show them mercy, O Lord; and bring their lives to fulfilment in health and happiness and mercy."
18
Then he ordered his servants to fill in the grave.

After this he gave a wedding feast for them which lasted fourteen days.
