In the story of Tobit, Raphael is an angel sent by God to assist Tobit's family. He embarks on a journey to Rages in Media to retrieve money owed to Tobit's family by Gabael. This mission underscores the themes of trust and divine provision, as Tobit relies on God's guidance through Raphael. The act of giving the receipt and retrieving the money signifies the importance of fulfilling obligations and maintaining integrity in financial matters. Raphael's invitation to Gabael to join the wedding feast is a gesture of hospitality and celebration, emphasizing the joy and unity found in community gatherings. This narrative encourages believers to trust in God's provision and to value relationships, both familial and communal, as sources of strength and joy.
