Read Tobit Chapter 9 Summary

Bound by Raguel's oath to stay for the wedding feast, Tobias asks Raphael to take a servant and two camels to Rages, collect the money from Gabael and bring him to the wedding, for his father is counting the days. Raphael goes, gives Gabael the receipt and receives the sealed bags. Early the next morning the two come back together to the feast, and Tobias blesses his wife.
