Now therefore, my father, give me counsel how I can receive the money from the hand of Gabael, for he will not know me, and I shall not know him; and what sign shall I give him so that he may give me the money; and I know not either the ways by which they go to Media.
Then Tobi answered and said to Tobiyyah, This is the sign that thou shalt give him. He gave me his bag, and took from my hand mine, when I put the money in his hand this day twenty years ago.
Now therefore go and seek thee a man who may be trusty to go with thee, and we will give him his wages; and go, my son, while I yet live, and receive the money, and may the Lord God of Israel keep thee in all thy journey, and grant thee favour, kindness, and mercy in the man’s eyes, and in the eyes of all that see thee, and may he send thee away in honour and peace, and bring thee back to us in peace before I die.
