1. Now one of the wives of the sons of the prophets cried to Elisha, “Your servant my husband is dead, and you know that your servant feared the Lord, but a creditor has come to take my two sons as slaves.”
2. Elisha said to her, “What shall I do for you? Tell me, what do you have in the house?”She said, “Your servant has nothing in the house except a jar of oil.”
3. Then he said, “Go, ask for vessels from all your neighbors, empty vessels and not just a few.
4. Then go in, shut the door behind you and your sons, and pour the oil into all these vessels. When each is full, set it aside.”
