5 And Raguel said to them, "Do you know my brother Tobit?" They said to him, "We know him." 6 And since he was saying many good things about him, the Angel said to Raguel, "The Tobit about whom you inquire is the father of this young man." 7 And Raguel threw himself towards him and kissed him with tears and weeping upon his neck, saying, "May a blessing be upon you, my son, because you are the son of a good and most noble man." Judith 1:7 Then the kingdom of Nebuchadnezzar was exalted, and his heart was elevated. And he sent to all who dwelt in Cilicia, and Damascus, and Lebanon,
8 and to the nations that are in Carmel and Kedar, and to the inhabitants of Galilee, in the great plain of Esdrelon, 9 and to all who were in Samaria and across the river Jordan, even to Jerusalem and to all the land of Jesse, until one passes through to the borders of Ethiopia.
10 To all these, Nebuchadnezzar, king of the Assyrians, sent messengers: Baruch 4 1 " This is the book of the commandments of God and of the law, which exists in eternity. All those who keep it will attain to life, but those who have forsaken it, to death.
2 Convert, O Jacob, and embrace it, walk in the way of its splendor, facing its light.
3 Do not surrender your glory to another, nor your value to a foreign people.
4 We have been happy, O Israel, because the things that are pleasing to God have been made clear to us. 2 Maccabees 15;39 And, indeed, if I have done well, so as to have made an adequate history, this also is what I wanted. But if it is less than worthy, may it be permitted me.
