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.
5 “Through all your days, son, keep the Lord in mind, and do not seek to sin or to transgress the commandments. Perform righteous deeds all the days of your life, and do not tread the paths of wickedness.
