I gave her to seven husbands from among our relatives. They each died on the wedding night. But, for the moment, my son, eat and drink, and the Lord will arrange things for you.”Tobiah said: “I shall eat nothing if you do not stop now and bring this matter to a conclusion.”Raguel said to Tobiah: Take her from now on; I give her to you according to the law of Moses, and you must understand that God himself gives her to you. Accept your kinswoman; from now on, you are her brother and she is your sister. She is yours from this day forward and forever. May God bless you this night, and may He grant you both His mercy and peace.”
