2 Kings 4:2-7
2So ElishaH477 saidH559 to her, “WhatH4100 shall I doH6213 for you? TellH5046 me, whatH4100 do you haveH3426 in the houseH1004?” And she saidH559, “Your servantH8198 hasH369 nothingH369H3605 in the houseH1004 exceptH3588H518 1a jarH610 of oilH8081.” 3Then he saidH559, “GoH1980, 2borrowH7592 containersH3627 3elsewhereH2351 for yourself, emptyH7386 containersH3627 from allH3605 your neighborsH7934--do not getH4591 too fewH4591. 4Then you shall comeH935 inH935 and shutH5462 the doorH1817 behindH1157 you and your sonsH1121, and pourH3332 into allH3605 theseH428 containersH3627; and you shall setH5265 asideH5265 what is fullH4392.” 5So she leftH1980H4480 him and shutH5462 the doorH1817 behindH1157 her and her sonsH1121; they began bringingH5066 the containers to her, and she pouredH3332 the oil. 6When 4the containersH3627 were fullH4390, she saidH559 to her sonH1121, “BringH5066 me anotherH5750 containerH3627.” But he saidH559 to her, “ThereH369 5areH369 noH369 moreH5750 containersH3627.” Then the oilH8081 stoppedH5975. 7So she cameH935 and toldH5046 6the manH376 of GodH430. And he saidH559, “GoH1980, sellH4376 the oilH8081 and payH7999 your debtH5386, and you and your sonsH1121 can liveH2421 on the restH3498.”
