7 Now, not with lust,but with fidelity I take this kinswoman as my wife.Send down your mercy on me and on her,and grant that we may grow old together.Bless us with children.”
8 They said together, “Amen, amen!”
9 Then they went to bed for the night.But Raguel got up and summoned his servants. They went out with him and dug a grave,
10 for he said, “Perhaps Tobiah will die; then we would be a laughingstock and an object of mockery.”
11 When they had finished digging the grave, Raguel went back into the house and called his wife,
12 saying, “Send one of the maids in to see whether he is alive. If he has died, let us bury him without anyone knowing about it.”
13 They sent the maid, lit a lamp, and opened the bedroom door; she went in and found them sleeping together.
