Tobit 8:18-24 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

18. For you have acted in your mercy toward us, and you have excluded from us the enemy who pursued us.

19. Moreover, you have had compassion on two only children. Make them, O Lord, able to bless you more fully and to offer you a sacrifice of your praise and of their health, so that all peoples everywhere may know that you alone are God in all the earth."

20. And immediately Raguel instructed his servants to refill the pit, which they had made, before daylight.

21. And then he told his wife to make ready a feast, and to prepare all the provisions that are necessary for those who undertake a journey.

22. Likewise, he caused two fat cows and four rams to be killed, and a banquet to be prepared for all his neighbors and every one of his friends.

23. And Raguel pleaded with Tobias to delay with him for two weeks.

24. Moreover, of all the things that Raguel possessed, he gave one half part to Tobias, and he made a writing, so that the half that remained should also pass into the ownership of Tobias, after their deaths.
