4 And they went forth and shut the door of the chamber. And Tobias rose up from the bed, and said unto her, Sister, arise; let us pray and make supplication to our Lord that he may work mercy and deliverance for us. 5 And she arose, and they began to pray and make supplication that deliverance might be wrought for them, and he began to say, Blessed art thou, God of our fathers, and ∙blessed is thy name for ever and ever; let the heavens bless thee, and all thy creation to all the ages. 6 Thou madest Adam, and madest Eve his wife for a helper and a stay for him: of them both came the seed of men: and thou didst say, It is not good that the man should be alone; let us make him a helper like unto him. 7 And now I take not this my sister for lust, but in truth: command that I and she may find mercy and grow old together. 8 And they said together, Amen. 9 And they slept the night.

The parents’ joy and the ensuing feast, vv. 9b–21.
