Now Tobit his father counted every day; and when the days for the journey were completed, and they had not returned,
then Tobit said, "Are they detained? Or is Gabael dead and there is no man to give him the money?"
Tobit said to her, "Hold your peace; do not worry, for he is safe."
The book of the words of Tobit, son of Tobiel, the son of Ananiel, the son of Aduel, the son of Gabael, a descendent of Asael, of the tribe of Naphtali,
Tobit also went forth toward the door, and stumbled, but his son ran to him.
Then Tobit went out to meet his daughter-in-law at the gate of Nineveh, rejoicing and praising God; and those who saw him go marveled because he had received his sight.
But Tobit gave thanks before them, because God had mercy on him. And when he came near to Sarah his daughter-in-law, he blessed her, saying, "You are welcome, daughter. May God be blessed, who brought you to us, and blessed be your father and your mother." And there was joy among all his brethren who were at Nineveh.
Then Tobit called his son Tobias and said to him, "My son, see that the man who went with you has his wages and you must give him more."
I, Tobit, have walked all the days of my life in the ways of truth and justice, and I performed many charitable deeds for my brethren and my nation, who came with me to Nineveh into the land of the Assyrians.
Then Tobit wrote a prayer of rejoicing and said, "Blessed be God who lives for ever and blessed be his kingdom.

At the very same time, Tobit came home and entered into his house, and Sarah the daughter of Raguel came down from her upper room.
On that day Tobit remembered the money which he had committed to Gabael in Rages of Media,
Then Tobit said to him, "Brother, tell me what tribe and family you are from."
He said to him, "Do you seek for a tribe or family, or for a hired man to go with your son?" Then Tobit said to him, "I would know, brother, your kindred and name."
Then Tobit said, "You are welcome, brother; do not be angry with me now, because I asked about your tribe and your family; for you are my brother, of an honest and good stock. For I know Ananiah and Jonathan, sons of that great Samaiah, because we went together to Jerusalem to worship, and offered the firstborn, and the tenths of the fruits; and they were not seduced with the error of our brethren. My brother, you are of good stock.
But Anna his mother wept and said to Tobit, "Why have you sent our son away? Is he not the staff of our hand, in going in and out before us?
Then Tobit said to her, "Do not worry, my sister; he will return in safety, and your eyes will see him.
Then Raguel said to Edna his wife, "How much this young man is like Tobit my kinsman!"
Then he said to them, "Do you know Tobit our kinsman?" And they said, "We know him." Then he said, "Is he in good health?"
