Translation commentary on Tobit 1:16

Both Revised Standard Version and Good News Translation agree that a new paragraph should be started at this point.

In the days of Shalmaneser I performed many acts of charity: During the reigns of Shalmaneser and Sennacherib, Tobit practiced acts of charity, literally “almsgiving,” the same word as in 1.3. Examples of this activity follow.

For my kindred, those of my tribe, see 1.3.
