MLV(i)
1 Now a certain woman of the wives of the sons of the prophets cried out to Elisha, saying, Your servant my husband is dead and you know that your servant feared Jehovah and the creditor has come to take my two children to him to be bondmen.
2 And Elisha said to her, What shall I do for you? Tell me, what have you in the house? And she said, Your handmaid has not anything in the house except a pot of oil. 3 Then he said, Go, borrow for you vessels abroad from all your neighbors, even empty vessels; borrow not a few. 4 And you will go in and shut the door upon you and upon your sons and pour out into all those vessels and you will set aside what 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 happened, when the vessels were full, that she said to her son, Bring me yet a vessel. And he said to her, There is no more a vessel. And the oil halted. 7 Then she came and told the man of God. And he said, Go, sell the oil and pay your debt and live you and your sons from the rest.
