Tobit 7:8-10

Good News Translation

     ⁸ His wife Edna and his daughter Sarah also wept for Tobit.

Raguel gave Tobias and Raphael a warm welcome and had one of his rams slaughtered. After the guests had bathed and were about to sit down to eat, Tobias said to Raphael,
    Azarias, my friend, when are you going to ask Raguel to let me marry Sarah?

⁹ But Raguel overheard the question and said to Tobias,
¹⁰     Eat and drink something first and enjoy yourself this evening. You have the right to marry Sarah, and I cannot let anyone else marry her, because you are my closest relative. But I must tell you the truth, my son.
