I gave the third to orphans and widows and to the strangers who live among the Israelites; I brought it them as a gift every three years.

I did not know that there were sparrows in the wall above my head; their hot droppings fell into my eyes. This caused white spots to form, which I went to have treated by the doctors.

I remained without sight four years; all my brothers were distressed on my behalf; and Ahikar provided for my upkeep for two years, until he left for Elymais. (Tobit 2, 10)
