1Now there cried a certain woman of the wives of the sons of the prophets to Elisha, saying, “Your servant my husband is dead. You know that your servant feared Yahweh. Now the creditor has come to take for himself my two children to be slaves.”

2Elisha said to her, “What shall I do for you? Tell me: what do you have in the house?” She said, “Your handmaid has nothing in the house, except a pot of oil.”

3Then he said, “Go, borrow containers from of all your neighbors, even empty containers. Don’t borrow just a few.

4You shall go in, and shut the door on you and on your sons, and pour out into all those containers; and you shall set aside that which is full.”

5So she went from him, and shut the door on her and on her sons; they brought the containers to her, and she poured out.
