1After this Tobi'as went on his way, praising God because he had made his journey a success. And he blessed Rag'uel and his wife Edna.

So he continued on his way until they came near to Nin'eveh. 2Then Raph'ael said to Tobi'as, “Are you not aware, brother, of how you left your father? 3Let us run ahead of your wife and prepare the house. 4And take the gall of the fish with you.” So they went their way, and the dog went along behind them.

5Now Anna sat looking intently down the road for her son. 6And she caught sight of him coming, and said to his father, “Behold, your son is coming, and so is the man who went with him!”

7Raph'ael said, “I know, Tobi'as, that your father will open his eyes. 8You therefore must anoint his eyes with the gall; and when they smart he will rub them, and will cause the white films to fall away, and he will see you.”

9Then Anna ran to meet them, and embraced her son, and said to him, “I have seen you, my child; now I am ready to die.” And they both wept. 10Tobit started toward the door, and stumbled. But his son ran to him 11and took hold of his father, and he sprinkled the gall upon his father's eyes, saying, “Be of good cheer, father.” 12And when his eyes began to smart he rubbed them, 13and the white films scaled off from the corners of his eyes. 14Then he saw his son and embraced him, and he wept and said, “Blessed art thou, O God, and blessed is thy name for ever, and blessed are all thy holy angels. 15For thou hast afflicted me, but thou hast had mercy upon me; here I see my son Tobi'as!” And his son went in rejoicing, and he reported to his father the great things that had happened to him in Media.

16Then Tobit went out to meet his daughter-in-law at the gate of Nin'eveh, rejoicing and praising God. Those who saw him as he went were amazed because he could see. 17And Tobit gave thanks before them that God had been merciful to him. When Tobit came near to Sarah his daughter-in-law, he blessed her, saying, “Welcome, daughter! Blessed is God who has brought you to us, and blessed are your father and your mother.” So there was rejoicing among all his brethren in Nin'eveh. 18Ahikar and his nephew Nadab11.18 Other authorities read Nasbas came, 19and Tobi'as' marriage was celebrated for seven days with great festivity.
