Abstract

An unknown author wrote the book of tobit, written sometime during the second century B.C.E. (Bergant 1989, 832) or the third century B.C.E. (Mays 1988, 720), in an unknown location. Even though the date is not known exactly, it is widely thought to have been written during the Diaspora due to the intricate narrative story presented. The book of tobit was written "for Jews who were concerned about being faithful to God and who were questioning God's fidelity to them in the midst of this cultural turmoil" (Bergant 1989, 833).There are two different versions of the book. Written originally in Aramaic, the text existed in two different Greek translations, a long form and a short form. Scholarly evidence of fragments from the Qumran and Aramaic manuscripts points to the longer form of tobit to be more true to the original text.
