And Tobias called Raphael, and said to him, “Brother Azarias, take with you a servant and two camels, and go to Rages of Media to Gabael, and receive the money for me, and bring him to the wedding feast, because Raguel has sworn that I must not depart. My father counts the days; and if I wait long, he will be very grieved. So Raphael went on his way, and lodged with Gabael, and gave him the handwriting; so he brought forth the bags with their seals, and gave them to him. Then they rose up early in the morning together, and came to the wedding feast. Tobias blessed his wife.

Notes in English 19th-century Catholic commentary by Fr. George Leo Haydock, shown as published.
These notes keep the polemics of their time: some speak harshly of the Jewish people or of other Christians. The Church teaches otherwise today. The Jewish people may not be blamed for the death of Christ (Nostra Aetate 4; Catechism 597–598), and Christians of other communities are our brothers and sisters in the Lord (Unitatis Redintegratio 3). Christian unity
Tobit 9:1
Ver. 1. The angel. Gr. "Raphael, and said." --- I pray. Gr. "Take with thee a servant and two camels," v. 6. H.
Ver. 6. And received. Gr. "But he produced the coffers sealed up, and gave him, and they set off early together, and came to the wedding, and Tobias blessed his wife," (H.) by removing the source of her disgrace. The Heb. of Fagius is equally concise in this chapter, omitting all the rest.
C. --- Munster has only, "Raguel wept, embracing Tobias, and said, Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, who has made thee (Sara) marry this man. May he, in his mercy, grant you male children, who may employ themselves in the law of the Lord."
