Tobias and the Angel
Tobit 6

¹ And as they went on their journey, they came in the evening to the river Tigris, and they lodged there.

² And when the young man went down to wash himself, a fish leaped out of the river, and would have devoured him.

³ Then the angel said unto him, Take the fish. And the young man laid hold of the fish, and drew it to land.

⁴ To whom the angel said, Open the fish, and take the heart and the liver and the gall, and put them up safely.

⁵ So the young man did as the angel commanded him; and when they had roasted the fish, they did eat it: then they both went on their way, till they drew near to Ecbatane.

⁶ Then the young man said to the angel, Brother Azarias, to what use is the heart and the liver and the gal of the fish?

⁷ And he said unto him, Touching the heart and the liver, if a devil or an evil spirit trouble any, we must make a smoke thereof before the man or the woman, and the party shall be no more vexed.

⁸ As for the gall, it is good to anoint a man that hath whiteness in his eyes, and he shall be healed.

⁹ And when they were come near to Rages,

¹⁰ The angel said to the young man, Brother, to day we shall lodge with Raguel, who is thy cousin; he also hath one only daughter, named Sara; I will speak for her, that she may be given thee for a wife.

¹¹ For to thee doth the right of her appertain, seeing thou only art of her kindred.

¹² And the maid is fair and wise: now therefore hear me, and I will speak to her father; and when we return from Rages we will celebrate the marriage: for I know that Raguel cannot marry her to another according to the law of Moses, but he shall be guilty of death, because the right of inheritance doth rather appertain to thee than to any other.

¹³ Then the young man answered the angel, I have heard, brother Azarias that this maid hath been given to seven men, who all died in the marriage chamber.

¹⁴ And now I am the only son of my father, and I am afraid, lest if I go in unto her, I die, as the other before: for a wicked spirit loveth her, which hurteth no body, but those which come unto her; wherefore I also fear lest I die, and bring my father's and my mother's life because of me to the grave with sorrow: for they have no other son to bury them.

¹⁵ Then the angel said unto him, Dost thou not remember the precepts which thy father gave thee, that thou shouldest marry a wife of thine own kindred? wherefore hear me, O my brother; for she shall be given thee to wife; and make thou no reckoning of the evil spirit; for this same night shall she be given thee in marriage.

¹⁶ And when thou shalt come into the marriage chamber, thou shalt take the ashes of perfume, and shalt lay upon them some of the heart and liver of the fish, and shalt make a smoke with it:

¹⁷ And the devil shall smell it, and flee away, and never come again any more: but when thou shalt come to her, rise up both of you, and pray to God which is merciful, who will have pity on you, and save you: fear not, for she is appointed unto thee from the beginning; and thou shalt preserve her, and she shall go with thee. Moreover I suppose that she shall bear thee children. Now when Tobias had heard these things, he loved her, and his heart was effectually joined to her.

The whiteness of the eye could be referring to cataracts in the eye and this could be a remedy for this, Just as eye drops are.

Logical Singh's Tobit Chapter 6 comment on 2/20/2013, 10:58pm...

Tobit 6:5-8 is neither consistent with the teaching and theology of the Old Testament nor with the teaching, theology, and doctrine of the New Testament. Therefore I think it should not be part of the any Bible.

Please add this to King James Version of the bible.

Elijah's Tobit Chapter 6 comment on 5/30/2012, 3:14am...

Clearly JESUS Himself was confronted with this self-same issue, when the sadducees (that DENY The Resurrection) came along TEMPTING Him.

Here (below) they clearly cite verses 13-14 of Tobit 6. This means that these sadducees knew about this writing. Must have been MADE UP by someone with a desire to be "a prophet" if the sadducees were citing it in their "Temptation of Christ".

JESUS Confirms this with "ye do ERR" below (Verse 29)

Anyhow, everytime a REAL Angel Shows Up - man has difficulty standing up in their Presence, let alone having a nice chat over lunch, and calling the angel "brother". Also, The Angels generally keep their names Hidden, except for The Archangels, Michael & Gabriel.

azarias was NOT AN ANGEL - No -el suffix...

PLUS "THE OBVIOUS MAGIC RITUAL"...

Not Holy Scripture - DEFINITELY - Amen †

† Matthew 22 : 23- 29 †

"The same day came to him the Sadducees, which say that there is no resurrection, and asked him,
Saying, Master, Moses said, If a man die, having no children, his brother shall marry his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother. Now there were with us seven brethren: and the first, when he had married a wife, deceased, and, having no issue, left his wife unto his brother: Likewise the second also, and the third, unto the seventh.

And last of all the woman died also.

Therefore in the resurrection whose wife shall she be of the seven? for they all had her.

29 Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God."
