3 And he said to her: 'Go, ask to borrow from all your neighbors empty vessels, more than a few.
4 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.'
5 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.
6 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.
7 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.'
