Tobit 2:1-2

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

2 In the days of^[a] Esar-haddon^[b] I returned home, and my wife Anna and my son Tobias were restored to me. At our Festival of Pentecost, which is the sacred Festival of Weeks, a good dinner was prepared for me, and I reclined to eat.^{(A) 2} When the table had been set for me and an abundance of food placed before me, I said to my son Tobias, “Go, my son, and bring whatever poor person you may find of our kindred among the exiles in Nineveh who is wholeheartedly mindful of God,^[c] and he shall eat together with me. I will wait for you, my son, until you come back.”
