??Tobias Routs the Demon
(Cp Mt 12.43–45)
8 When they had finished eating and drinking they wanted to retire; so they took the young man and brought him into the bedroom. 2 Then Tobias remembered the words of Raphael, and he took the fish’s liver and heart out of the bag where he had them and put them on the embers of the incense. 3 The odor of the fish so repelled the demon that he fled to the remotest partsa of Egypt. But Raphael followed him, and at once bound him there hand and foot.
4 When the parentsb had gone out and shut the door of the room, Tobias got out of bed and said to Sarah,c “Sister, get up, and let us pray and implore our Lord that he grant us mercy and safety.” 5 So she got up, and they began to pray and implore that they might be kept safe. Tobiasd began by saying,
“Blessed are you, O God of our ancestors,
and blessed is your name in all generations forever.
Let the heavens and the whole creation bless you forever.
6 You made Adam, and for him you made his wife Eve
as a helper and support.
From the two of them the human race has sprung.
You said, ‘It is not good that the man should be alone;
let us make a helper for him like himself.’
7 I now am taking this kinswoman of mine,
not because of lust,
but with sincerity.
Grant that she and I may find mercy
and that we may grow old together.”
8 And they both said, “Amen, Amen.” 9 Then they went to sleep for the night.
But Raguel arose and called his servants to him, and they went and dug a grave, 10 for he said, “It is possible that he will die and we will become an object of ridicule and derision.” 11 When they had finished digging the grave, Raguel went into his house and called his wife, 12 saying, “Send one of the maids and have her go in to see if he is alive. But if he is dead, let us bury him without anyone knowing it.” 13 So they sent the maid, lit a lamp, and opened the door; and she went in and found them sound asleep together. 14 Then the maid came out and informed them that he was alive and that nothing was wrong. 15 So they blessed the God of heaven, and Raguele said,
“Blessed are you, O God, with every pure blessing;
let all your chosen ones bless you.f
Let them bless you forever.
16 Blessed are you because you have made me glad.
It has not turned out as I expected,
but you have dealt with us according to your great mercy.
17 Blessed are you because you had compassion
on two only children.
Be merciful to them, O Master, and keep them safe;
bring their lives to fulfillment
in happiness and mercy.”
18 Then he ordered his servants to fill in the grave before daybreak.
Wedding Feast
19 After this he asked his wife to bake many loaves of bread; and he went out to the herd and brought two steers and four rams and ordered them to be slaughtered. So they began to make preparations. 20 Then he called for Tobias and swore on oath to him in these words:g “You shall not leave here for fourteen days, but shall stay here eating and drinking with me; and you shall cheer up my daughter, who has been depressed. 21 Take at once half of what I own and return in safety to your father; the other half will be yours when my wife and I die. Take courage, my child. I am your father and Edna is your mother, and we belong to you as well as to your wifeh now and forever. Take courage, my child.”1

Revelation From God

Author
The author of Tobit is Tobit and his son Tobiah, whom pick up after Tobit’s death.
Date
The book had to been written around 721 BC, because Tobit is in living in Nineveh after the Israelite are deport there around 722-721 BC.
History
Tobit, a devout and wealthy Israelite living among the captives deported to Nineveh from the Northern Kingdom of Israel in 722/721 B.C., suffers severe reverses and is finally blinded.1
1?New American Bible, Revised Edition. (Washington, DC: The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, 2011), Tob.
Tobit is a book within the deuterocanonical literature (sometimes also called the Apocrypha). As such, it is deemed canonical by Roman Catholics, but generally not by Protestants. The discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls (DSS), however, has proved to be a watershed for our understanding of Tobit. Fragments of Tobit have been found among the DSS in both Aramaic and Hebrew, proving that it was written in Aramaic, not Greek. As a result, the philological criterion (that it should not be deemed canonical because it was not written in a semitic language) originally used to justify Tobit’s proscription rests on shoddy footing. Although not canonical for large segments of Christianity, the book of Tobit will prove salutary for anyone interested in studying Scripture. Many Christians, including early pillars of the faith (e.g., Origen, Clement), have read it as “Scripture.” Tobit also contributes to an understanding of the biblical world. It is unique as the only text that envisions the Assyrian exile and deportation as its hypothetical historical referent. Tobit provides a more extended picture of quotidian Jewish family life than any other biblical book. Finally, the book of Tobit is a serious piece of narrative theology. Although enshrined in a folktale, it strives to say something profound in conversation with contemporaneous theological formulations. It intentionally engages Deuteronomy, Job, and Sirach as conversation partners.
Tobit is among the Apocrypha books in which the Catholic church makes canonical at The Counsel of Trent, December 13, 1545-December 4th, 1563.
Theology
This is an allegorical retelling to Tobit’s life and his son (Tobiah) trip o Media, along with the Arch Angel Raphael. We are given a deep hunger for faith and walking in the ways of righteousness by Tobit and Tobiah. That when we do YHWH will protect and guide us!!!!
Structure
The inspired author of the book used the literary form of religious novel (as in Esther and Judith) for the purpose of instruction and edification. The seemingly historical data, names of kings, cities, etc., are used as vivid details not only to create interest and charm, but also to illustrate the negative side of the theory of retribution: the wicked are indeed punished.
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. 4:3–19, 21; 12:6–10; 14:7, 9) as well as standard wisdom themes: fidelity to the law, intercessory function of angels, piety toward parents, purity of marriage, reverence for the dead, and the value of almsgiving, prayer, and fasting. The book makes Tobit a relative of Ahiqar, a noted hero of ancient Near Eastern wisdom literature and folklore.1
