Chapter and verse numbers follow the available POB edition, including its supplied gaps. Source records are displayed once in their supplied order; missing numbers are not reconstructed.

• Tobit 7:1[a] Greek: 'Sarah also met him.' The final clause has an implicit singular subject ('he brought them into the house'); the text does not explicitly name who brought them in.
• Tobit 7:1[b] The parallel Semitic witness reflects the same arrival-and-greeting scene at Raguel's house, though with some differences in wording and detail.
• Tobit 7:2[a] The Greek text reads, 'Edna said to his wife,' though the Semitic parallel has Raguel speaking to Edna his wife. The context may suggest a textual or transmission irregularity.
• Tobit 7:2[b] Or 'my cousin.' The Greek kinship term can be used more broadly for a close male relative, though 'nephew' is the more specific sense.
• Tobit 7:3[a] Or “from the descendants of Naphtali” or “from the tribe of Naphtali.” The Greek literally says “from the sons of Naphtali.”
• Tobit 7:3[b] Or “the exiles in Nineveh.” The Greek says “the captives,” emphasizing their deported status.
• Tobit 7:4[a] Or 'our kinsman' / 'our relative.' The Greek says 'our brother,' likely as a kinship term rather than for a literal sibling.
• Tobit 7:5[a] Greek: 'lives and is healthy'; rendered idiomatically as 'is alive and well.'
• Tobit 7:5[b] Traditional English forms often use 'Tobias' here instead of 'Tobiah.'
• Tobit 7:6[a] The Greek verb behind 'kissed him warmly' is stronger than a simple 'kissed' and suggests marked affection.
• Tobit 7:6[b] The parallel Semitic reference supplied here is a much later back-translation and does not control the wording of this verse; the translation is anchored in the Greek witness.
• Tobit 7:7[a] Greek is elliptical here; literally, 'the one of the noble and good man.' The translation supplies 'son' for clear English and likely sense in context.
• Tobit 7:7[b] Or, 'had lost his sight.' The Greek says more literally, 'had lost his eyes.'
• Tobit 7:8[a] Or 'received them warmly' or 'received them willingly'; the Greek adverb emphasizes ready, wholehearted hospitality.
• Tobit 7:11[a] Greek 'seven men'; the context indicates these were the men to whom she had been given in marriage, so 'seven husbands' is a possible contextual rendering.
• Tobit 7:11[b] The final clause is difficult in the Greek witness here. The translation reflects the apparent sense: Tobiah refuses to eat until the marriage arrangement is formally settled with him.
• Tobit 7:12[a] 'Brother' here reflects kinship language and likely means a close relative eligible under family custom, not a literal sibling.
• Tobit 7:12[b] Or 'according to the ruling' or 'according to the legal decision.'
• Tobit 7:12[c] The Greek could also be rendered more literally, 'the merciful God will prosper for you the best things.'
• Tobit 7:13[a] Or “receive her” for “take her”; the Greek imperative can carry the sense of taking, receiving, or bringing, but the following command already expresses the movement toward his father.
• Tobit 7:14[a] Or 'a written agreement' or simply 'a contract'; the Greek term refers to a formal written legal document. 'Marriage contract' is chosen because the immediate context is the marriage arrangement.
• Tobit 7:15[a] “Sister” is a literal kinship form of address to his wife, preserving the Greek wording; it functions idiomatically as an affectionate domestic address.
• Tobit 7:15[b] Or “the other chamber.” The Greek ταμεῖον can refer to an inner room or chamber.
• Tobit 7:16[a] Greek: 'the tears of her daughter.' The context strongly suggests the sense is 'his daughter,' referring to Ragouel and Sarah.
• Tobit 7:17[a] Or 'grace' instead of 'favor'; the Greek χάρις can bear either sense here.
• Tobit 7:18[a] Or “the other chamber.” The Greek ταμεῖον can refer to an inner room or chamber.
• Tobit 7:18[b] “Sister” is a literal form of address to his wife, not a statement of biological relationship.
