Tobit 4:2-4

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

² and he said to himself, “Now that I have asked for death, why do I not call my son Tobias and explain to him about this money before I die?”^{(A) 3} Then he called his son Tobias, and when he came to him he said, “Give^[a] me a proper burial. Honor your mother and do not abandon her all the days of her life. Do whatever pleases her, and do nothing that makes her unhappy.^{(B) 4} Remember her, my son, because she faced many dangers for you^[b] while you were in her womb. And when she dies, bury her beside me in the same grave.^(C)
