Deli

Elisha asked her, “What can 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.”

One of the wives of the sons of the prophets  cried out to Elisha, “Your servant, my husband, has died. You know that your servant feared the LORD.  Now the creditor is coming to take my two children as his slaves.”

Then he said, “Go out and borrow empty containers from all your neighbors. Do not get just a few.

Then go in and shut the door behind you and your sons, and pour oil into all these containers. Set the full ones to one side.”

When they were full, she said to her son, “Bring me another container.” But he replied, “There aren’t any more.” Then the oil stopped.

She went and told the man of God,  and he said, “Go sell the oil and pay your debt; you and your sons can live on the rest.”

So she left. After she had shut the door behind her and her sons, they kept bringing her containers, and she kept pouring.

Then he went up and lay on the boy:  he put mouth to mouth, eye to eye, hand to hand. While he bent down over him, the boy’s flesh became warm.
