*
And one of the wives of the sons of the prophets cried to Elisaie ,
saying ,
Thy servant my husband is dead ;
and thou knowest that thy servant feared the Lord :
and the creditor is come to take my two sons to be his servants .
*
And Elisaie said ,
What shall I do for thee ?
tell me what thou hast in the house .
And she said ,
Thy servant has nothing in the house ,
except oil wherewith I (

anoint myself .
*
And he said to her ,
Go ,
borrow for thyself vessels without of all thy neighbours ,
even empty vessels ;
borrow not a few .
*
And thou shalt go in and shut the door upon thee and upon thy sons ,
and thou shalt pour forth into these vessels ,
and remove that which is filled .
*
And she departed from him ,
and shut the door upon herself and upon her sons :
they brought the vessels near to her ,
and she poured in until the vessels were filled .
*
And she said to her sons ,
Bring me yet a vessel .
And they said to her ,
There is not a vessel more .
And the oil stayed .
*
And she came and told the man of God :
and Elisaie said ,
Go ,
and sell the oil ,
and thou shalt pay thy (

debts ,
and thou and thy sons shall live of the remaining oil .
