"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.” "
— 2 Kings 4:4, Catholic Public Domain Version
“And when thou art come in, thou shalt shut the door upon thee and upon thy sons, and shalt pour out into all those vessels, and thou shalt set aside that which is full.”
“And thou shalt go in, and shut the door upon thee and upon thy sons, and pour out into all those vessels; and thou shalt set aside that which is full. ”
“You shall go in, and shut the door on you and on your sons, and pour out into all those containers; and you shall set aside that which is full."”
“Go and close the door behind you and your sons. Pour the olive oil into all the containers; set aside each one when you have filled it.””
“And go in, and shut thy door, when thou art within, and thy sons: and pour out thereof into all those vessels: and when they are full, take them away.”
“Then go in, and, shutting the door on yourself and your sons, put oil into all these vessels, putting on one side the full ones.”
“And when thou art come in, thou shalt shut the door upon thee and upon thy sons, and shalt pour out into all those vessels, and thou shalt set aside that which is full.”
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.
Then she went and told the man of God. And he said: “Go, sell the oil, and repay your creditor. Then you and your sons may live on what remains.”
