6 Raguel jumped up and kissed Tobias and started weeping.
7 Raguel said, “I pray that God will bless you. Your father Tobit is a generous and honest man. It's a terrible shame that someone so good has become blind.” Then Raguel hugged Tobias and cried some more.
8 Raguel's wife Edna and his daughter Sarah were also crying for Tobit.
9 Then Raguel killed one of his sheep, so its meat could be prepared for dinner, and he made Tobias and Raphael feel welcome in his home.After they had bathed and were eating dinner, Tobias whispered to Raphael, “Ask him to let me marry Sarah!”
10 Raguel overheard Tobias and said, “Eat and drink and have a good time. No one except you has the right to marry my daughter Sarah. You are my closest relative, and so I would not be allowed to let anyone else marry her. However, there are a few things I must tell you.
11 I have already let Sarah marry seven of my relatives, and each one of them died when he went into the bedroom to sleep with her. So now, Tobias, eat and drink, and the Lord will help you.”But Tobias replied, “I won't eat or drink anything until you make this marriage official.”“Then I will make it official right now!” Raguel said. “Tobias, I give my daughter Sarah to you as your wife according to the laws in the Book of Moses. God himself wanted you to marry her, and from this moment you will forever be husband and wife. I pray that the Lord of Heaven will bless the two of you tonight, and that he will be merciful and give you peace.”
12 Raguel sent for his daughter, and when she came, he took her by the hand and led her over to Tobias. Then he said, “Tobias, Sarah is now your wife in keeping with the laws and teachings of the Book of Moses. Make sure that she arrives unharmed at your father's home, and I will pray that the God of Heaven will keep you safe as you travel.”
