1 Now there cried a certain woman of the wives of the sons of the prophets unto Elisha, saying, Thy servant my husband is dead; and thou knowest that thy servant did fear Jehovah: and the creditor is come to take unto him my two children to be bondmen. 2 And Elisha said unto her, What shall I do for thee? tell me; what hast thou in the house? And she said, Thy handmaid hath not anything in the house, save a pot of oil. 3 Then he said, Go, borrow thee vessels abroad of all thy neighbors, even empty vessels; borrow not a few. 4 And thou shalt go in, and shut the door upon thee and upon thy sons, and pour out into all those vessels; and thou shalt set aside that which is full. 5 So she went from him, and shut the door upon her and upon her sons; they brought the vessels to her, and she poured out. 6 And it came to pass, when the vessels were full, that she said unto her son, Bring me yet a vessel. And he said unto her, There is not a vessel more. And the oil stayed. 7 Then 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 of the rest.

1 And a certain woman of the wives of the sons of the prophets hath cried unto Elisha, saying, Thy servant, my husband, is dead, and thou hast known that thy servant was fearing Jehovah, and the lender hath come to take my two children to him for servants.

2 And Elisha saith unto her, What do I do for thee? declare to me, what hast thou in the house? and she saith, Thy maid-servant hath nothing in the house except a pot of oil.

3 And he saith, Go, ask for thee vessels from without, from all thy neighbours -- empty vessels -- let [them] not be few;

4 and thou hast entered, and shut the door upon thee, and upon thy sons, and hast poured out into all these vessels, and the full ones thou dost remove.

5 And she goeth from him, and shutteth the door upon her, and upon her sons; they are bringing nigh unto her, and she is pouring out,

6 and it cometh to pass, at the filling of the vessels, that she saith unto her son, Bring nigh unto me a vessel more, and he saith unto her, There is not a vessel more; and the oil stayeth.

7 And she cometh and declareth to the man of God, and he saith, Go, sell the oil, and repay thy loan; and thou [and] thy sons do live of the rest.
