Publisher's Synopsis
The Book of the Words of Tobit 1927 is a religious text written by Ernest H. Short. The book tells the story of Tobit, a righteous Israelite who is blinded by bird droppings and struggles with his faith in God. Tobit's son Tobias sets out on a journey to retrieve a sum of money that Tobit had entrusted to a friend, and along the way he meets the archangel Raphael, who helps him overcome various obstacles. The book is a part of the Apocrypha, a collection of religious texts that are not included in the Hebrew Bible but are considered canonical by some Christian denominations. Short's translation of the text is faithful to the original language and provides valuable insights into the religious and cultural contexts of the time.
