The time is a great while ago, the age of the Old Testament. Christ will not be born for another 722 years. The chariots of the Assyrians have overrun the land of Israel, whose vanquished peoples have been carried off into exile. Among them was the tribe of Nepthali, and to it belonged a man called Tobit. He was a just and upright man in the sight of God, and his great possessions had stretched from the inmost borders of his country even unto the shores of the sea. Now he and his family are exiles living in poverty in Nineveh, the proud capital of the Assyrians, who sell their prisoners into slavery.
