AND when they were come to Ecbatane, they came to the house of Re'u'el, and Sarah met them: and after they had saluted one another, she brought them into the house.
'Then said Re'u'el to Edna his woman, How like is this young man to Toviyahu my cousin!
And Re'u'el asked them, From whence are ye, brethren? To whom they said, We are of the sons of Naphtaliy, which are captives in Niyneveh.
Then he said to them, Do ye know Toviyahu our kinsman? And they said, We know him. Then said he, Is he in good health?
And they said, He is both alive, and in good health: and Toviyahu said, He is my father.
Then Re'u'el leaped up, and kissed him, and wept,
And blessed him, and said unto him, You are the son of an honest and good man. But when he had heard that Toviyahu was blind, he was sorrowful, and wept.
And likewise Edna his woman and Sarah his daughter wept. Moreover they entertained them cheerfully; and after that they had killed a ram of the flock, they set store of meat on the table. Then said Toviyahu to Rapha'el, Brother Azaryahu, speak of those things of which you did talk in the way, and let this business be dispatched.
So he communicated the matter with Re'u'el: and Re'u'el said to Toviyahu, Eat and drink, and make merry:
For it is meet that you should marry my daughter: nevertheless I will declare unto you the Truth.
I have given my daughter in marriage to seven men, who died that night they came in unto her: nevertheless for the present be merry. But Toviyahu said, I will eat nothing here, till we agree and swear one to another.
Re'u'el said, Then take her from henceforth according to the manner, for you are her cousin, and she is yours, and the merciful Elohiym give you good success in all things.
Then he called his daughter Sarah, and she came to her father, and he took her by the hand, and gave her to be woman to Toviyahu, saying, Behold, take her after the Torah of Mosheh, and lead her away to your father. And he blessed them;
And called Edna his woman, and took paper, and did write an instrument of covenants, and sealed it.
Then they began to eat.
After Re'u'el called his woman Edna, and said unto her, Sister, prepare another chamber, and bring her in thither.
Which when she had done as he had bidden her, she brought her thither: and she wept, and she received the tears of her daughter, and said unto her,
Be of good comfort, my daughter; Yahuah of heaven and earth give you joy for this your sorrow: be of good comfort, my daughter.
