Then Tobiyyah rose from the bed, and said to Sarah his wife, My sister, arise, and let us present our supplication before God, that he would deal with us after the abundance of his mercy and kindness. And Tobiyyah entreated the face of the Lord, and Tobiyyah said, O Lord God of Israel, thou art Lord alone in heaven and on earth. And thou didst create Adam, and gavest him Eve his wife for a helper like unto him. Now therefore, O Lord, it is manifest and known to thee that I take not this my sister for lust, but in uprightness of heart, according to the law of Moses and Israel. And thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us, and have compassion on us, and join us together in peace, and give us sons who may be a blessing, occupying themselves in thy law. And Sarah answered and said, Amen.
