*
Now there cried a certain woman of the wives of the sons of the prophets to Elisha ,
saying ,
Your slave my husband is dead ;
and you know that your slave did fear Yahweh :
and the creditor has come to take to him my two children to be slaves .
*
And Elisha said to her ,
What shall I do for you ?
Tell me ;
what do you have in the house ?
And she said ,
Your slave doesn '
t have anything in the house ,
but a pot of oil .
*
Then he said ,
Go ,
borrow for yourself vessels abroad of all your neighbors ,
even empty vessels ;
don '
t borrow a few .
*
And you will go in ,
and shut the door on you and on your sons ,
and pour out into all those vessels ;
and you will set aside that which is full .
*
So she went from him ,
and shut the door on her and on 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 another vessel .
And he said to her ,
There is not another vessel .
And the oil stopped .
*
Then she came and told the man of God .
And he said ,
Go ,
sell the oil ,
and pay your debt ,
and you and your sons live from the rest .
