4. But go now, and seek thee out some faithful man, to go with thee for his hire: that thou mayst receive it, while I yet live.
5. Then Tobias going forth, found a beautiful young man, standing girded, and as it were ready to walk.
6. And not knowing that he was an angel of God, he saluted him, and said: From whence art thou, good young man?
7. But he answered: Of the children of Israel. And Tobias said to him: Knowest thou the way that leadeth to the country of the Medes?
8. And he answered: I know it: and I have often walked through all the ways thereof, and I have abode with Gabelus our brother, who dwelleth at Rages a city of the Medes, which is situate in the mount of Ecbatana.
9. And Tobias said to him: Stay for me, I beseech thee, till I tell these same things to my father.
