⁸ I gave this to orphans and widows, and to Gentiles who had joined Israel. In the third year, when I brought and gave it to them, we would eat together according to the instruction recorded in Moses’ Law, as Deborah my grandmother^[a] had taught me (for my father had died and left me an orphan).

⁹ When I became an adult, I married a woman from our clan.^[b] Together we had a son, whom I named Tobias.

Tobit rewarded for his piety
