2 Kings 4:1-7

Now there cried
<06817> (8804)
a certain
<0259>
woman
<0802>
of the wives
<0802>
of the sons
<01121>
of the prophets
<05030>
unto Elisha
<0477>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Thy servant
<05650>
my husband
<0376>
is dead
<04191> (8804)_;
and thou knowest
<03045> (8804)
that thy servant
<05650>
did fear
<03373>
the LORD
<03068>_:
and the creditor
<05383> (8802)
is come
<0935> (8804)
to take
<03947> (8800)
unto him my two
<08147>
sons
<03206>
to be bondmen
<05650>_.
And Elisha
<0477>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto her, What shall I do
<06213> (8799)
for thee? tell
<05046> (8685)
me, what hast
<03426>
thou in the house
<01004>_?
And she said
<0559> (8799)_,
Thine handmaid
<08198>
hath not any thing in the house
<01004>_,
save a pot
<0610>
of oil
<08081>_.
Then he said
<0559> (8799)_,
Go
<03212> (8798)_,
borrow
<07592> (8798)
thee vessels
<03627>
abroad
<02351>
of all thy neighbours
<07934>_,
[even] empty
<07386>
vessels
<03627>_;
borrow not a few
<04591> (8686)_.
{borrow not...: or, scant not}
And when thou art come in
<0935> (8804)_,
thou shalt shut
<05462> (8804)
the door
<01817>
upon thee and upon thy sons
<01121>_,
and shalt pour out
<03332> (8804)
into all those vessels
<03627>_,
and thou shalt set aside
<05265> (8686)
that which is full
<04392>_.
So she went
<03212> (8799)
from him, and shut
<05462> (8799)
the door
<01817>
upon her and upon
<01157>
her sons
<01121>_,
who
<01992>
brought
<05066> (8688)
[the vessels] to her; and she poured out
<03332> (8716)_.
And it came to pass, when the vessels
<03627>
were full
<04390> (8800)_,
that she said
<0559> (8799)
unto her son
<01121>_,
Bring
<05066> (8685)
me yet a vessel
<03627>_.
And he said
<0559> (8799)
unto her, [There is] not a vessel
<03627>
more. And the oil
<08081>
stayed
<05975> (8799)_.
Then she came
<0935> (8799)
and told
<05046> (8686)
the man
<0376>
of God
<0430>_.
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
Go
<03212> (8798)_,
sell
<04376> (8798)
the oil
<08081>_,
and pay
<07999> (8761)
thy debt
<05386>_,
and live
<02421> (8799)
thou and thy children
<01121>
of the rest
<03498> (8737)_.
{debt: or, creditor}
