Tobit 11:16-18

New Catholic Bible

¹⁶ Tobit went out to the gates of Nineveh to meet his daughter-in-law, rejoicing and praising God. When the people of Nineveh observed him walking along vigorously without anyone guiding him, they were astonished. ¹⁷ Tobit related in their presence how God had been merciful to him and restored his sight. When he met Sarah, the wife of his son Tobiah, he blessed her in these words: “Welcome, my daughter. Blessed be God who has sent you to us, my daughter. Blessed are your father and mother. Blessed is my son Tobiah. Blessed are you, my daughter. Welcome now to your home, and enter with joyfulness and in blessedness, my daughter.”

And so that was a day of joy for all the Jews in Nineveh. ¹⁸ Ahiqar and his nephew Nadab also came to share in Tobit’s happiness. They celebrated Tobiah’s wedding feast for seven days, and many gifts were given to him.
