==Composition and manuscripts== Tobit exists in two Greek versions, one (Sinaiticus) longer than the other (Vaticanus and Alexandrinus).{{sfn|Grabbe|2003|p=736}} Aramaic and Hebrew fragments of Tobit (four Aramaic, one Hebrew β it is not clear which was the original language) found among the Dead Sea Scrolls at [[Qumran]] tend to align more closely with the longer or Sinaiticus version, which has formed the basis of most English translations in recent times.{{sfn|Grabbe|2003|p=736}} The [[Vulgate]] places Tobit, [[Book of Judith|Judith]] and [[Book of Esther|Esther]] after the historical books (after [[Book of Nehemiah|Nehemiah]]). Some manuscripts of the Greek version place them after the wisdom writings.<ref>[[Jerusalem Bible]] (1966), "Introduction to Tobit, Judith and Esther", p. 601</ref>
