1 That day Tobit remembered the silver he had entrusted to Gabael in Rages of Media.
2 He said to himself, I have asked for death; I should call my son Tobias and tell him about the money before I die.
3 So he called for his son Tobias, and Tobias came to him. Tobit said to him: “Give me a proper burial. Honor your mother and take care of her as long as she lives. Do what pleases her and don’t grieve her spirit in any matter.
4 Remember her, my son, because she went through many dangers while pregnant with you. And when she dies, bury her next to me in the same grave.
