And Reuel ran to the flocks, and brought calves and rams, and bade them prepare them. And he said to Tobiyyah, Thou shalt not depart from my house before fourteen days, but gladden my forsaken daughter. And thou shalt take half of all that I have, and shalt go to thy father with joy, and when I and my wife he dead, thou shalt take the whole.
Then Tobiyyah called Raphael, and said to him, My brother Azaryah, take with thee hence four servants and two camels, and come, go to Rages, to Gabael my uncle, and give him his bag, and he will give thee the money; and invite him to come to my wedding, for I cannot go thither, because of the oath which Reuel hath sworn to me, that I shall not depart from his house before fourteen days. But my father and my mother count the days, and if one day exceed the time, I shall grieve my parents’ soul.
