10 Tobias and Raphael had reached Media and were on their way to Ecbatana,
11 when Raphael said, “Tobias, listen to me.”“I'm listening,” Tobias answered.Then Raphael said:Tonight we will stay in the home of your relative Raguel. He has a daughter named Sarah,
12 and she is his only child. You are her closest relative, and so you have the right to marry her and to inherit whatever her father leaves. He is a good man, and she is sensible, courageous, and very beautiful.
13 Now listen carefully. Raguel knows you have the right to marry his daughter and that the Law of Moses teaches he must be put to death, if he lets any other man marry her. So tonight I will make the wedding arrangements with him, and you can take Sarah home as your bride when we return from Rages.
14 Tobias answered:I have heard that she has already been married seven times, but each of the men died before going to bed with her. The rumor is that a demon killed them.
15 It doesn't harm her; it just kills anyone who tries to marry her. I am an only child, and if I were killed by that demon, my parents would have great sorrow and be left with no one to bury them.
16 Raphael then said:Don't you remember that your father told you to marry someone from his side of the family? So agree to marry Sarah, because I know that tonight she can be your bride. You don't have to worry about the demon if you pay close attention to my instructions.
