2. Tobiah said: “Father, how much shall I pay him? It would not hurt to give him half the wealth he brought back with me.
3. He led me back safe and sound, healed my wife, brought the money back with me, and healed you. How much should I pay him?”
4. Tobit answered, “It is only fair, son, that he should receive half of all that he brought back.”
5. So Tobiah called Raphael and said, “Take as your wages half of all that you have brought back, and farewell!”
6. Raphael called the two of them aside privately and said to them: “Bless God and give him thanks before all the living for the good things he has done for you, by blessing and extolling his name in song. Proclaim before all with due honor the deeds of God, and do not be slack in thanking him.
7. A king’s secret should be kept secret, but one must declare the works of God and give thanks with due honor. Do good, and evil will not overtake you.
