5. And all the tribes which fell away together sacrificed to the heifer Baal, and so did the house of Naphtali my father.
6. And I alone went often to Jerusalem at the feasts, as it has been ordained to all Israel by an everlasting decree, having the first fruits and the tenths of mine increase, and that which was first shorn; and I gave them at the altar to the priests the sons of Aaron.
7. The tenth part of all mine increase I gave to the sons of Levi, who ministered at Jerusalem: and the second tenth part I sold away, and went, and spent it each year at Jerusalem:
8. and the third I gave to them to whom it was meet, as Deborah my father’s mother had commanded me, because I was left an orphan by my father.
9. And when I became a man, I took as wife Anna of the seed of our own family, and of her I became the father of Tobias.
10. And when I was carried away captive to Nineveh, all my brethren and those that were of my kindred did eat of the bread of the Gentiles:
11. but I kept myself from eating,
12. because I remembered God with all my soul.
13. And the Most High gave me grace and favor in the sight of Enemessar, and I was his purveyor.
14. And I went into Media, and left in trust with Gabael, the brother of Gabrias, at Rages of Media, ten talents of silver.
15. And when Enemessar was dead, Sennacherib his son reigned in his stead; and in his time the highways were troubled, and I could no more go into Media.
