"The Bible, Douay-Rheims, Book 17: Tobias" is a part of the canonical texts from the Bible, specifically translated from the Latin Vulgate and published in the early 17th century. The Book of Tobias is classified as a religious and spiritual text that serves as one of the historical narratives within the Old Testament. It deals with themes of faith, family, piety, and divine providence, depicting the trials and eventual triumphs of its central character, Tobias. The narrative follows Tobias, a devout Israelite living in Assyrian captivity, who exemplifies mercy and faith in God. After losing his sight due to a divine test of patience, Tobias embarks on a journey with the help of the angel Raphael, who disguises himself as a young man. Throughout his travels, Tobias is guided to heal his father’s blindness and enjoins a virtuous marriage with Sara, who has suffered the loss of seven suitors to a demon. The story culminates with Tobias receiving great blessings for his piety, including the restoration of his sight and the assurance of his family’s security, culminating in his father’s prophetic blessing for the restoration of Jerusalem.
