2 Kings 4:2-7

2ElishaH477 saidH559 to her, “WhatH4100 shall I doH6213 for you? TellH5046 me, whatH4100 do you haveH3426 in the houseH1004?” And she saidH559, “Your maidservantH8198 hasH369 nothingH369H3605 in the houseH1004 exceptH3588H518 1a jarH610 of oilH8081.” 3Then he saidH559, “GoH1980, borrowH7592 vesselsH3627 at largeH2351 for yourself from allH3605 your neighborsH7934, even emptyH7386 vesselsH3627; do not getH4591 a fewH4591. 4And you shall goH935 in and shutH5462 the doorH1817 behindH1157 you and your sonsH1121, and pourH3332 out into allH3605 theseH428 vesselsH3627, and you shall setH5265 asideH5265 whatH4392 is fullH4392.” 5So she wentH1980 from him and shutH5462 the doorH1817 behindH1157 her and her sonsH1121; they were bringingH5066 the vessels to her and she pouredH3332. 6When 2the vesselsH3627 were fullH4390, she saidH559 to her sonH1121, “BringH5066 me anotherH5750 vesselH3627.” And he saidH559 to her, “ThereH369 is not oneH369 vesselH3627 moreH5750.” And the oilH8081 stoppedH5975. 7Then she cameH935 and toldH5046 3the manH376 of GodH430. And he saidH559, “GoH1980, sellH4376 the oilH8081 and payH7999 your debtH5386, and you and your sonsH1121 can liveH2421 on the restH3498.”
