Then Tobiyyah came and told his father, saying, I have found a good man of our brethren to go with me. And Tobi said, Call him to me, that I may know of what place he is, and whether he be trusty to go with thee. So Tobiyyah went forth and called him.
And the angel came to Tobi, and said to him, Peace be unto thee, thou man of God. But Tobi said, If it is peace to me, why then hath all this befallen me, for I see not with mine eyes, but I sit blind in darkness? Then the angel said, He who hath deprived thee of light, the same shall heal thee, for thou art a righteous man. And Tobi answered and said, Let the Lord say so. Then Tobi said to him, My brother, my son Tobiyyah seeketh to go to Media, canst thou go to Media canst thou go with him, and I will give thy wages. And the angel said, Yea, I can, for I know all the ways, and have traversed all the boundaries, and know the mountains. Then Tobi said, Of what place art thou, and of what tribe art thou, and of what city art thou. And the angel said, Dost thou still enquire, when thou hast a hired man to go with thy son according to thy wish. Then Tobi said, My brother, I wish to know thy name, and of what family thou art. And the angel said, I am Azaryah, the son of Hananel, of the family of the great Shelomith, of thy brethren.
