March 12, 2012 – Tobit 9 – 10

This book has been split up throughout many different months, so it is hard to place these chapters into context.  A brief recap, Tobit sent Tobiah to get a large sum of money from a distant relative.  The angel Raphael went with him to protect him.  He met and married Sarah, who had been married several other times and the husbands had all been killed the night of the wedding by a demon.  Raphael helps protect him and Tobiah and Sarah say a beautiful prayer before consummating their marriage (well worth a read).  We are now to the part where Tobiah is returning home to his worried parents with a  wife and the money that Tobit asked him to get. 

I did think it was interesting that Tobit is worried about whether Tobiah is going to bring back the money and his mom thinks that he has died.  Shows you the difference as to what men and women are concerned about.
