They are not even found in the Hebrew Apocrypha,\r\nas I learned from the Jews themselves. However, since the\r\nchurches use Tobias, you must know that even in the captivity\r\nsome of the captives were rich and well to do. Tobias himself\r\nsays, “Because I remembered God with all my heart;\r\nand the Most High gave me grace and beauty in the eyes of\r\nNemessarus, and I was his purveyor; and I went into Media,\r\nand left in trust with Gabael, the brother of Gabrias at Ragi,\r\na city of Media, ten talents of silver.”<a id=\"r1108\"></a><a class=\"c007 pginternal\" href=\"#f1108\"><sup>[1108]</sup></a> And he adds, as he\r\nwere a rich man, “In the days of Nemessarus I gave many\r\nalms to my brethren. I gave my bread to the hungry, and\r\nmy clothes to the naked: and if I saw any of my nation dead,\r\nand cast outside the walls of Nineve, I buried him; and if\r\nking Senachereim had slain any when he came fleeing from\r\nJudea, I buried them privily (for in his wrath he killed\r\n<span class=\"pageno\" id=\"Page_385\">385</span>many).” Think whether this great catalogue of Tobias’ good\r\ndeeds does not betoken great wealth and much property,\r\nespecially when he adds, “Understanding that I was sought\r\nfor to be put to death, I withdrew myself for fear, and all my\r\ngoods were forcibly taken away.”<a id=\"r1109\"></a><a class=\"c007 pginternal\" href=\"#f1109\"><sup>[1109]</sup></a></p>","headings":["The Writings of Origen, Vol. 1 of 2","LETTERS.","A LETTER FROM ORIGEN TO AFRICANUS."],"marker_anchor":null,"paragraph_id":"pg70561-paragraph-380"}],"canonical_references":[],"date_end":null,"date_start":null,"deduplication_fingerprint":"0753a1a655ee6242f0de2d9dd0775911d14ab99dfff4e305130e4db7f675505d","edition_title":"The writings of Origen, Vol. 1 (of 2)","edition_translators":["Frederick Crombie"],"edition_year":1869,"explicit_reference_candidates":[],"headings":[],"id":"pg70561-f1108","license_url":"https://www.gutenberg.org/policy/license.html","public_import_allowed":false,"record_kind":"original-editor-translator-note","review_required":["work and recension attribution","original-work chronology","Bible reference numbering and citation kind","English edition rights and attribution"],"review_status":"needs_review","rights_evidence":"Project Gutenberg metadata: Public domain in the USA.
