2 Kings 4:29-31 And he said to Gehazi––Gird thy loins, and take my staff in thy hand, and go thy way, if thou meet with any man, thou must not bless him, and, if any man bless thee, thou must not respond to him,––then shalt thou lay my staff upon the face of the boy.

Rotherham⁽ⁱ⁾ ²⁹ And he said to Gehazi––Gird thy loins, and take my staff in thy hand, and go thy way, if thou meet with any man, thou must not bless him, and, if any man bless thee, thou must not respond to him,––then shalt thou lay my staff upon the face of the boy. ³⁰ But the mother of the boy said, By the life of Yahweh and by the life of thine own soul, I will not leave thee. So he arose and followed her. ³¹ Now, Gehazi, had passed on before them, and laid the staff on the face of the boy, but there was neither voice, nor attention,––so he returned to meet him, and told him, saying––The boy hath not awaked.
