Now Tobi and his wife were counting the days and the nights, and sorrowing that they had sent him away, and weeping and afflicting themselves for him. And Tobi comforted Hannah his wife, saying, Be silent, for he will return in peace and in joy. But she refused to be comforted, and went out every day on the roads to see whether her son would come, and she tasted nothing but tears for days and nights. And it came to pass when the fourteen days of the wedding were expired, Tobiyyah said to Reuel, Let me go, for my father and my mother are counting the days, and they look no more to see me. But Reuel said, Tarry with me yet awhile, and I will send to declare to thy father all that thou hast done. And Tobiyyah said, Detain me not, let me go, that I may go to my father.
