“When they were left alone in the room, Tobiah got out of bed and said: Get up, sister, and let us pray that the Lord will have mercy on us. And Tobiah began to say:
Blessed are You, God of our fathers, and blessed is Your holy and glorious name forever! May the heavens and all your creations bless you!
You created Adam and gave him Eve as a helper and his wife as a support. From them came the human race. You said: it is not good for man to be alone; let us create a helper like him.
And now, Lord, I take this sister of mine not to satisfy lust, but truly as a wife: deign to have mercy on me, and let me grow old with her!
And she said with him: Amen. And both slept peacefully that night” (Tov.8:5-9).
