9.6 Instead of this sentence, Vulgate reads (verses 8-12): “⁸And when he was come into Raguel’s house he found Tobias sitting at the table: and he leaped up, and they kissed each other: and Gabelus wept, and blessed God, ⁹and said: The God of Israel bless thee, because thou art the son of a very good and just man, and that feareth God, and doth almsdeeds: ¹⁰and may a blessing come upon thy wife and upon your parents: ¹¹and may you see your children, and your children’s children, unto the third and fourth generation: and may your seed be blessed by the God of Israel, who reigneth for ever and ever. ¹²And when all had said, Amen, they went to the feast: but the marriage feast they celebrated also with the fear of the Lord.
