1. Then Tobias answered his father, and said: I will do all things, father, which thou hast commanded me.
2. But how I shall get this money, I cannot tell; he knoweth me not, and I know not him: what token shall I give him? nor did I ever know the way which leadeth thither.
3. Then his father answered him, and said: I have a note of his hand with me, which when thou shalt shew him, he will presently pay it.
4. But go now, and seek thee out some faithful man, to go with thee for his hire: that thou mayst receive it, while I yet live.
5. Then Tobias going forth, found a beautiful young man, standing girded, and as it were ready to walk.
6. And not knowing that he was an angel of God, he saluted him, and said: From whence art thou, good young man?
7. But he answered: Of the children of Israel. And Tobias said to him: Knowest thou the way that leadeth to the country of the Medes?
