CHAP. XI.
1 The returne of Tobias to his father. 9 Howe he was receiued. 10
His father hath his sight restored and praiseth the Lord.
1 After these thinges Tobias went his way, praysing
God that hee had giuen him a prosperous
iourney, and blessed Raguel and Edna his wife, and
went on his way till he drewe neere to Nineue.
2 noteThen Raphael said to Tobias, Thou knowest,
brother, howe thou diddest leaue thy father.
3 Let vs haste before thy wife, and prepare the
house,
4 And take in thine hand the gall of the fish. So
they went their way, and the dog followed them.
5 Nowe Anna sate in the way looking for her
sonne,
6 Whom when she sawe comming, she sayd to
his father, Behold, thy sonne c&obar;meth, and the man
that went with him.
7 Then sayd Raphael, I knowe, Tobias, that thy
father shall receiue his sight.
8 Therefore anoynt his eyes with the gall, and
being pricked therewith, he shall rub and make the
whitenesse to fall away, and shall see thee.
9 ¶2; Then Anna ranne foorth, and fell on the
necke of her sonne, and sayde vnto him, Seeing I
haue seene thee, my sonne, from henceforth I am
content to die, and they wept both.
10 Tobit also went forth toward the doore, and
stumbled, but his sonne ranne vnto him.
11 And tooke hold of his father and sprinkled
of the gall on his fathers eyes, saying, Bee of good
hope, my father.
12 And when his eyes began to pricke, he rubbed
them.
13 And the whitenes pilled away from the corners
of his eyes, and when he sawe his sonne, he fell
vpon his necke,
14 And hee wept and sayde, Blessed art thou, O
Lorde, and blessed be thy Name for euer, and blessed
be all thine holy Angels.
15 For thou hast scourged me, and hast had pitie
on me: for beholde, I see my sonne Tobias: and
his sonne, being glad went in, and tolde his father
the great things that had come to passe in Media.
16 Then Tobit went out to meete his daughter
in lawe, reioycing and praysing God to the gate of
Nineue and they which saw him go, marueiled, because
he had receiued his sight.
17 But Tobit testified before th&ebar; al, þt; God had
had pitie on him. And when he came neere to Sarra
his daughter in lawe, he blessed her, saying, Thou
art welcome, daughter: God be blessed, which hath
brought thee vnto vs, and blessed be thy father: and
there was great ioy among all his brethren which
were at Nineue.
18 And Achiacharus and Nasbas his brothers
sonne came.
19 And Tobias marriage was kept seuen dayes
with great ioy.
