*
And a woman of the wives of the sons of the prophets cried to Elisha saying ,
Thy servant my husband is dead ,
and thou knowest that thy servant feared Jehovah ;
and the creditor is come to take my two children to be bondmen .
*
And Elisha said to her ,
What shall I do for thee ?
Tell me ,
what hast thou in the house ?
And she said ,
Thy handmaid has not anything at all in the house but a pot of oil .
*
And he said ,
Go ,
borrow for thyself vessels abroad from all thy neighbours ,
empty vessels ;
let it not be few ;
*
and go in ,
and shut the door upon thee and upon thy sons ,
and pour out into all those vessels ,
and set aside what is full .
*
And she went from him ,
and shut the door upon her and upon her sons :
they brought [
the vessels ]
to her ,
and she poured out .
*
And it came to pass when the vessels were full ,
that she said to her son ,
Bring me yet a vessel .
And he said to her ,
There is not a vessel more .
And the oil stayed .
*
And she came and told the man of God ;
and he said ,
Go ,
sell the oil ,
and pay thy debt ,
and live thou [
and ]
thy sons on the rest .
