1 That same day Tobit remembered the money he had deposited in trust with Gabael at Rages in Media.
2 He thought to himself, “Now that I have asked for death, why should I not call my son Tobiah and let him know about this money before I die?”
3 So he called his son Tobiah; and when he came, he said to him: “Son, when I die, give me a decent burial. Honor your mother, and do not abandon her as long as she lives. Do whatever pleases her, and do not grieve her spirit in any way.
4 Remember, son, how she went through many dangers for you while you were in her womb. When she dies, bury her in the same grave with me.
