Tobit 5:7-9

New Catholic Bible

⁷ Tobiah said to him “Wait for me, young man, while I go inside and tell my father. I need you to travel with me, and I shall pay you for your time.” ⁸ He replied, “Very well, I will wait for you, but do not be too long.”

⁹ Tobiah went back inside to tell his father Tobit what had transpired. He said to him, “I have found a fellow Israelite to make the journey with me.” Tobit said, “Call the man inside, my son, so that I may find out about his family and ascertain to what tribe he belongs, to ensure that he will be a trustworthy traveling companion for you.” Tobiah went back outside and summoned him. He said, “Young man, my father would like to talk with you.”
