And Reuel ran to meet him, and embraced him, and kissed him, and wept with him. And Reuel said, Blessed art thou, my son, of the Lord, for thou art the son of a righteous and upright man. And Reuel and Ednah his wife and Sarah his daughter wept yet more with him. And he killed a ram, and they prepared a feast with a glad heart, and they ate and drank.
Then Tobiyyah said to the angel, Speak with Reuel concerning the matter of Sarah his daughter, that he give her to me to wife. And it came to pass when Reuel heard this matter, he said to Tobiyyah, I know, my son, that it is better that I give her to thee than that I give her to another husband, but I will tell thee the truth. My son, know that I have already given her to seven husbands, who all died before they came in unto her. But now eat and drink, and leave the matter alone.
