	Book of Tobit - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Book of Tobit (or Book of Tobias in older Catholic Bibles) is a book of scripture that is part of the Catholic and Orthodox biblical canon, pronounced canonical by the Council of Carthage of 397 and confirmed for Roman Catholics by the Council of Trent (1546).
		The main narrative is dedicated to Tobit's son, Tobiah or Tobiyah (Greek: Tobias), who is sent by his father to collect a sum of money that the latter had deposited some time previously in the far off land of Media.
		Tobit sings a hymn of praise, and tells his son to leave Nineveh before God destroys it according to prophecy.

	The Story of Tobit
		Tobit continued following Jewish practices and enjoyed some commercial success, until all his property was confiscated for burying Jews whose bodies had been left exposed to the elements after execution.
		Tobit, expecting to die soon, sent his son Tobias to the town of Ragae to reclaim some money he had on deposit.
		Tobit continued to live a virtuous life, died at age 158, and had a splendid funeral.

	TOBIT, BOOK OF in the Bible Encyclopedia - ISBE (Bible History Online)
		Tobit, having a presentiment of the coming doom of Nineveh, urges his son to leave the country and make his home in Media after the death of his parents.
		Moreover, the fact that Tobit, though member of the Northern Kingdom, is represented as worshipping at the Jerusalem temple and observing the feasts there (1:4-7) makes it probable that the author was a member of the Southern Kingdom wishing to glorify the religion of his country.
		That Tobit, the ostensible author (1:1), should be set forth as a native of Galilee (1:1 f) is due to the art of the writer.

	Tobit
		The canonicity of the entire Old Testament, and thus, Tobit, was officially settled for the Roman Catholic Church at the Councils of Florence and Trent.
		In the Anglican Communion, Tobit is considered a part of the Old Testament Apocrypha, which the Church reads for example of life and instruction of manners, as Jerome advised, yet does not use these books to establish doctrine (see Article VI of the Articles of Religion).
		Although the author of Tobit wove his various folktales together quite skillfully, their seams are occasionally detectable in certain loose or incompatible threads.

		Tobit’s explicit reference to Jonah is of considerable interest in the light of certain affinities between the two books.
		The resemblance of Tobit to the Odyssey in particular was not lost on that great student of literature, Jerome, as is evident in a single detail of his Latin translation of Tobit in the Vulgate.
		It is my persuasion that the message of Tobit should begin with a proper analysis of its moral message exactly as it appears at the literary level, without recourse to hidden symbolisms that its author himself could scarcely have suspected and that float, in fact, without sufficient grounding in ancient patristic and liturgical texts.

		Tobit, a devout and wealthy Israelite living among the captives deported to Nineveh from the northern kingdom of Israel in 721 B.C., suffers severe reverses and is finally blinded.
		Although the Book of Tobit is usually listed with the historical books, it more correctly stands midway between them and the wisdom literature.
		It contains numerous maxims like those found in the wisdom books (cf Tobit 4:3-19, 21; 12:6-10; 14:7, 9) as well as the customary sapiential themes: fidelity to the law, the intercessory function of angels, piety toward parents, the purity of marriage, reverence for the dead, and the value of almsgiving, prayer, and fasting.

		The title character, Tobit, was exiled with his wife Anna from the region of Galilee held by the tribe of Naptali.
		The relatively complex plot is tied together by the parallel situations of older father and bride-to-be, frequent doxologies, almost incessant references to almsgiving, and the shifting of scenes between Nineveh and Ecbatana.
		17 So Raphael was sent to heal both of them: Tobit, by removing the white films from his eyes, so that he might see God's light with his eyes; and Sarah, daughter of Raguel, by giving her in marriage to Tobias son of Tobit, and by setting her free from the wicked demon Asmodeus.

	Tobit, Book of - International Standard Bible Encyclopedia
		When Anna reproaches her husband for continuing to believe in a religion which fails him at the critical moment (Tobit 2:14), we have probably to see a reflection of the similar incident in Job ("renounce God and die" (Job 2:9)).
		Consanguineous marriages are forbidden in the Pentateuch (see Leviticus 18:6); but they are favored by Tobit 1:9; 3:15; 4:12; 7:4.
		One may say it was allowed in the particular case in question on account of the special circumstances, the fewness of Jews in the parts where the families of Tobit and Raguel lived; compare Numbers 36:4 for another special case.

	USCCB - NAB - Tobit 1
		I, Tobit, have walked all the days of my life on the paths of truth and righteousness.
		[1] Tobit: in the fragments of the book found at Qumran, is given as Tobi, an abbreviated form of Tobiyah (Tobit 1:9; Ezra 2:60) or of Tobiyabu (2 Chron 17:8), a name which means "Yahweh is good." Tobiel, "God is good"; Hananiel, "God is merciful." The book abounds in theophoric names.
		Inconsistencies such as this point to the fact that the Book of Tobit is a religious novel (see Introduction; also notes on Tobit 5:6; 14:15).
