After these things Tobias went his way, praising God that He had given him a prosperous journey, and blessed Raguel and Edna his wife, and went on his way till they drew near unto Nineveh.
2
Then Raphael said to Tobias, "Thou knowest, brother, how thou didst leave thy father.
3
Let us hasten before thy wife and prepare the house.
4
And take in thine hand the gall of the fish." So they went their way, and the dog went after them.
5
Now Anna sat looking about toward the way for her son.
6
And when she espied him coming, she said to his father, "Behold, thy son cometh, and the man who went with him."
7
Then said Raphael, "I know, Tobias, that thy father will open his eyes.
8
Therefore anoint thou his eyes with the gall; and, being pricked therewith, he shall rub, and the whiteness shall fall away and he shall see thee."
