It’s been a while (almost a month) since I posted on Tobit (post on tobit 8). When we left off, Tobiyah was just found to have survived his wedding night, the demon being vanquished, and all is going well. Now, I imagine, he’s going to head back to his father Tobit and deal with Tobit’s blindness. Without further ado, here’s some Tobit
1 Then Tobiyah called Rapha’el, and said to him, 2 “Brother Azariah, take with you a servant and two camels, and go to Rages of Media to Gaba’el, and bring me the money, and bring him to the wedding.
(Gaba’el is the guy whom Tobiyah was sent to collect money from earlier in the book.)
3 For Raguel has sworn that I shall not leave. 4 But my father is counting the days, and if I tarry long he will be very sorry. 5 So Rapha’el went out, and lodged with Gaba’el, and gave him the handwritten letter. Gaba’el brought out bags which were sealed up, and gave them to Rapha’el. 6 And early in the morning they went out together, and came to the wedding, and Tobiyah blessed his wife.
And, as Donald Duck was wont to say, that’s all, folks. Short chapter. Tobit’s not gonna leave his own wedding (a multi-day affair), so he sends his angel buddy to go collect the money from Gaba’el and bring him to the wedding as well. And they arrive at the wedding and Tobiyah blesses his new spouse. All is well.
