In the story, a man named Tobit who lives in Nineveh loses his eyesight and has to rely upon his wife's job to make ends meet. Meanwhile, a young woman named Sarah is losing husbands to a demon named Asmodeus and fears the bad reputation she's getting because of it. Both Tobit's prayer and Sarah's are answered by God, who sends an angel to help Tobit's son Tobias to deliver a bag of money that's been held in security in another town back home. The angel also helps Tobias conquer the demon that's been causing Sarah trouble. | |

| Book of Tobit / int_27b83210 | comment |
Hufflepuff House: Tobit and Tobias are of the tribe of Naphtali, one of the northern tribes that is otherwise just a name on a page. Were this a protocanonical book, Tobit and his son would be the only Naphtalites mentioned by name in the entire Bible, but it is not. | |

Mistaken for Thief | |
| Book of Tobit / int_461aad62 | comment |
Mistaken for Thief: In Chapter 2, Anna's employers pay her for her work by giving her a young goat for a meal. When she brings it home, Tobit (because he was blind) assumes that she must have stolen it and tells her to bring it back even after she says that it was given to her as a gift. Anna doesn't take this accusation from her husband very well. | |

Spell My Name with an S | |
| Book of Tobit / int_89a17726 | comment |
Spell My Name with an S: This is a deuterocanonical book, so it isn’t in the Masoretic Text and the West knew of it exclusively through translation. So for most of history the father and son were called Tobias the Elder and Younger. Only in modern translations are they distinguished as Tobit and Tobiah. | |

Artistic License – Religion | |
| Book of Tobit / int_a27c0c2c | comment |
Artistic License – Religion: While basic Scripture canon states that the use of magic is evil, this book seems to encourage what appears to be the use of magic, with the burning of fish guts being what drives a powerful demon away. This, along with the teaching that almsgiving can save a soul from death, becomes a point of contention between the Catholics and the Protestants as far as this book's inclusion or exclusion in Scripture canon. | |

Money Is Not Power | |
| Book of Tobit / int_bfb5f597 | comment |
Money Is Not Power: Despite basic Scripture canon stating this to the effect that it cannot save a soul from death, this book contradicts this by saying that almsgiving can save a soul from death, which is why it is used as part of the Catholic canon of Scripture. | |
