The text below comes from the second half of Tobit, Chapter 6 (with some omissions). Remember, Thobias and Raphael (Azarias) are on their way to the city of Rages, and Thobias thinks it is because they are going to collect the money Thobias's father had deposited there many years ago with Gabael. But Raphael now explains that they will visit the house of Raguel, Sara's father - so that Thobias can defeat the demon Asmodeus, and take Sara as his wife. |
