11. When they had finished digging the grave, Raguel went back into the house and called his wife,
12. saying, “Send one of the maids in to see whether he is alive. If he has died, let us bury him without anyone knowing about it.”
13. They sent the maid, lit a lamp, and opened the bedroom door; she went in and found them sleeping together.
14. The maid came out and told them that Tobiah was alive, and that nothing was wrong.
15. Then they praised the God of heaven in these words:“Blessed are you, God, with every pure blessing!Let all your chosen ones bless you forever!
16. Blessed are you, for you have made me happy;what I feared did not happen.Rather you have dealt with usaccording to your abundant mercy.
17. Blessed are you, for you have shown mercytoward two only children.Grant them, Master, mercy and protection,and bring their lives to fulfillmentwith happiness and mercy.”
