2 Elisha asked her, “What should I do for you? Tell me, what do you have in your house?”She answered, “I have nothing in the house except a jar of olive oil.”
3 Elisha said, “Borrow many empty containers from all your neighbors.
4 Then close the door behind you and your children, and pour oil into all those containers. When one is full, set it aside.”
5 So she left him and closed the door behind her and her children. The children kept bringing containers to her, and she kept pouring.
6 When the containers were full, she told her son, “Bring me another container.”He told her, “There are no more containers.” So the olive oil stopped flowing.
7 She went and told the man of God.He said, “Sell the oil, and pay your debt. The rest is for you and your children.”
8 One day Elisha was traveling through Shunem, where a rich woman lived. She had invited him to eat ⌊with her⌋. So whenever he was in the area, he stopped in to eat.
