Tobit is a richly told story of providence and reward. The righteous Tobit, blinded in Nineveh, sends his son Tobias to recover a deposit in Media. Accompanied unknowingly by the archangel Raphael, Tobias defeats the demon Asmodeus, marries Sarah, restores his father's sight, and returns home. The book celebrates almsgiving, prayer, faithful marriage, and proper burial of the dead — virtues the diaspora was urged to keep.
A devotional novella set in the Assyrian exile. Aramaic and Hebrew fragments at Qumran show it circulated in Semitic and Greek forms.
Tobit is part of the Apocrypha, so the reader opens in KJVA by default — KJV doesn't include it.
Our cross-reference dataset comes from OpenBible.info (CC-BY) — a community-curated resource that covers the Old and New Testaments only. The Apocrypha isn't yet in their dataset, so we don't have an arc-map for Tobit on this page.
Tobit is still richly connected to the rest of Scripture — the early church quoted it, later writers built on it, and scholarly cross-reference editions (e.g. the Jerusalem Bible, the Nova Vulgata) catalogue those links. We're tracking the gap and will add Apocrypha cross-references when a permissive open dataset becomes available.
