This passage recounts the final moments and counsel of Tobit, who, before his peaceful death at 112, urged his son Tobiah to flee Nineveh for Media, prophesying the city's destruction based on divine word and the fulfillment of prophets' words. Tobit's advice centers on serving God, giving alms, and instructing children in righteousness. He contrasts the destructive nature of wickedness with the saving power of almsgiving, referencing Ahiqar's escape from Nadin's trap as an example before his spirit departs. The passage concludes by detailing Tobiah's departure to Media after burying his parents, his care for his in-laws, and his later life, including witnessing the destruction of Nineveh, fulfilling Tobit's prophecy, and blessing God.
