Given by: Tobit, on what he believes to be his deathbed. Given to: his son Tobias, as his first charge.

In the diaspora the family was the surviving vessel of covenant identity, and reverence for parents — including their burial — was among the most sacred of tangible duties where the Temple could not be reached.

When God shall take my soul, thou shalt bury my body: and thou shalt honour thy mother all the days of her life:

Bury your father with due reverence and honour your mother every day she lives.

Tobit 4:3
