Scripture Reference:

Description: A fish jumps out of the Tigris and Tobias catches it. His companion Azarias, who is really the angel Raphael, instructs Tobias to save the heart, liver, and gall of the fish, and to cook the rest for dinner. Tobias' dog stands nearby. The panel to the left depicts Jacob wrestling with the angel of God, while that on the right shows Jacob buying Esau’s birthright for a bowl of stew.
