Translation commentary on Tobit 4:20

Here is a good point to open a new paragraph (as Good News Translation and Contemporary English Version do); Tobit talks again about the money left with Gabael. The connector And now may be rendered simply as “now.”

For my son see the note at 4.3-4.

I left ten talents of silver in trust …: See the note on 1.14, and compare 4.1.
