George Leo Haydock, on Tob 5:19

“And Tobias answered: Thou art of a great family. But I pray thee be not angry that I desired to know thy family.”

“Thy family. Greek, Syriac, &c., add, “Thou art my brother, of a noble and good race. For I know Ananias and Jonathan, sons of the great Semei, as we went together to Jerusalem to adore, carrying the first-born, and tithes of the produce; and they did not join in the error of their brethren. Thou art of a great stock, brother. But tell me what reward I shall give thee? A drachm a day, and what may be requisite for thee and for my son. And I will give more than the hire if you return in health. And they agreed; and he said to Tobias, Be in readiness for the journey, and may you be directed: and his son prepared the requisites for the journey,” &c. (Haydock)”
