"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 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."”
“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.”
Elisha Helps a Widow and Her Sons Now a wife of one of the prophets appealed to Elisha for help, saying,“Your servant, my husband is dead. You know that your servant was a loyal follower of the LORD. Now the creditor is coming to take away my two boys to be his servants.”
Elisha said to her,“What can I do for you? Tell me, what do you have in the house?” She answered,“Your servant has nothing in the house except a small jar of olive oil.”
He said,“Go and ask all your neighbors for empty containers. Get as many as you can.
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.”
So she left him and closed the door behind her and her sons. As they were bringing the containers to her, she was pouring the olive oil.
When the containers were full, she said to one of her sons,“Bring me another container.” But he answered her,“There are no more.” Then the olive oil stopped flowing.
She went and told the prophet. He said,“Go, sell the olive oil. Repay your creditor, and then you and your sons can live off the rest of the profit.”
