2 Kings 4:3-7 ▼

3 He told her, |Go out to all of your neighbors in the surrounding streets and borrow lots of pots from them. Don't get just a few empty vessels, either.

4 Then go in and shut the door behind you, taking only your children, and pour oil into all of the pots. As each one is filled, set it aside.|

5 So she left Elisha, shut the door behind her and her children, and while they kept on bringing vessels to her, she kept on pouring oil.

6 When the last of the vessels had been filled, she told her son, |Bring me another pot!| But he replied, |There isn't even one pot left.| Then the oil stopped flowing.

7 After this, she went and told the man of God what had happened. So he said, |Go sell the oil, pay your debt, and you and your children will be able to live on the proceeds.|
