"And he said to her: “Go, ask to borrow from all your neighbors empty vessels, more than a few. "
— 2 Kings 4:3, Catholic Public Domain Version
“Then he said, Go, borrow thee vessels abroad of all thy neighbours, even empty vessels; borrow not a few.”
“Then he said, Go, borrow thee vessels abroad of all thy neighbors, even empty vessels; borrow not a few. ”
“Then he said, "Go, borrow containers from of all your neighbors, even empty containers. Don't borrow just a few.”
“He said,“Go and ask all your neighbors for empty containers. Get as many as you can.”
“And he said to her: Go, borrow of all thy neighbours empty vessels, not a few.”
“Then he said, Go out to all your neighbours and get vessels, a very great number of them.”
“Then he said, Go, borrow thee vessels abroad of all thy neighbours, even empty vessels; borrow not a few.”
Now a certain woman, from the wives of the prophets, cried out to Elisha, saying: “My husband, your servant, is dead. And you know that your servant was one who fears the Lord. And behold, a creditor has arrived, so that he may take away my two sons to serve him.”
And Elisha said to her: “What do you want me to do for you? Tell me, what do you have in your house?” And she responded, “I, your handmaid, do not have anything in my house, except a little oil, with which I may be anointed.”
And he said to her: “Go, ask to borrow from all your neighbors empty vessels, more than a few.
And enter and close your door. And when you are inside with your sons, pour from the oil into all those vessels. And when they are full, take them away.”
And so, the woman went and closed the door upon herself and her sons. They were bringing her the vessels, and she was pouring into them.
And when the vessels had been filled, she said to her son, “Bring me another a vessel.” And he responded, “I have none.” And there was oil remaining.
