| | Book of Tobit |
| | Tobit is a book of the Old Testament in those versions of the Bible following the Greek Septuagint (generally Roman Catholic and Orthodox versions). | | | The narrative is set in the ancient Assyrian capital of Nineveh sometime between the latter part of the 8th century BC, after the defeat of the kingdom of Israel by Assyria, and the destruction of Nineveh in 612BC. | | | Immediately afterward, inspired by the archangel's final exhortation, Tobit composes and recites a hymn of praise to God (chap. |

| | Tobit |
| | Anothing aspect of Tobit that makes it interesting is that it was written during the time of "transition": the time between the Old Testament (represented by the prophet Malachi) and the coming of the New Testament (represented by the prophet John the forerunner). | | | It is not only in the Protestant churches that the book has been neglected, however, for the Orthodox, and the Catholics as well, have neglected their spiritual heritage to an extent. | | | Saint Ambrose, for instance, calls Tobit 12:8-9 "Scripture," and elsewhere, in an argument defending the extremely important theological issue, the consubstantiality of Jesus with the Father, uses Tobit 9:3. |

| | Tobit is one of the apocryphal books of the bible which means that it was not considered one of the canonical texts of scripture. | | | In paragraph three, she begins to recount the Tobit story at the point where Tobit's son, Tobias, and the angel Raphael (then known to both Tobit and his son as Azariah) set out on their journey to recover Tobit's money from their kinsman Gabael. | | | In Tobit, "the seven days celebrated Nuptials success" (see Tobit 11:18) follows the expulsion of the evil spirit Asmodeus from Sarah just as "the Churches glorious estate" will follow the expulsion of Satan from the world. |

| | Miss Garnet's Angel by British author Salley Vickers - romantic literature set in Venice. |
| | The Book of Tobit has been part of Jewish literature for over two thousand years. | | | Although it is set in the aftermath of the first Jewish holocaust, when the ten lost tribes of Israel (a separate country from the longer-surviving southern kingdom of Judah) were deported to Assyria in 722 BCE, it was probably not written down in its present form until the last quarter of the second century BCE. | | | My hunch is that Raphael, whose name in Greek means 'God's healing', was imported then into Jewish lore, but that he appeared first as Sraosha, one of the Bounteous Immortals, and that the Book of Tobit is really an old Magi tale which has been overlaid with Jewish pieties and strictures. |
