(You may need to use a book called a concordance for questions 2, 3, and 5. A Concordance indicates where words are used in the books of the bible.)
1. In 5:3, Tobit, looks for a trustworthy man to help him journey to Rages. Who would you trust to guide you on a long journey?
2. Tobit is intent on finding out Raphael’s family and tribe. Where do these designations come from in the Old Testament? Might this be connected to the story of Tobit?
3.nRaphael seems very deceptive about his name. He calls himself Azariah. Do you know any Old Testament Azariah’s that may help us understand this story better? (Here’s a hint: Azariah’s father is involved in the same story.)
4. Have you ever had to say good bye to someone when you feared for their health?
5. The fish plays an important role in this story. What other Old Testament fish stories might be connected to this story? How might a Christian use this same story to interpret the present of fish in the gospel.
