1. And a certain woman of the wives of the sons of the prophets hath cried unto Elisha, saying, `Thy servant, my husband, is dead, and thou hast known that thy servant was fearing Jehovah, and the lender hath come to take my two children to him for servants.`
|
1. Now there cried H6817 a certain H259 woman H802 of the wives H4480 H802 of the sons H1121 of the prophets H5030 unto H413 Elisha H477 , saying H559 , Thy servant H5650 my husband H376 is dead H4191 ; and thou H859 knowest H3045 that H3588 thy servant H5650 did H1961 fear H3372 H853 the LORD H3068 : and the creditor H5383 is come H935 to take H3947 unto him H853 my two H8147 sons H3206 to be bondmen H5650 .
|
|
2. And Elisha saith unto her, `What do I do for thee? declare to me, what hast thou in the house?` and she saith, `Thy maid-servant hath nothing in the house except a pot of oil.`
|
2. And Elisha H477 said H559 unto H413 her, What H4100 shall I do H6213 for thee? tell H5046 me, what H4100 hast H3426 thou in the house H1004 ? And she said H559 , Thine handmaid H8198 hath not H369 any thing H3605 in the house H1004 , save H3588 H518 a pot H610 of oil H8081 .
|
|
3. And he saith, `Go, ask for thee vessels from without, from all thy neighbours -- empty vessels -- let them not be few;
|
3. Then he said H559 , Go H1980 , borrow H7592 thee vessels H3627 abroad H4480 H2351 of H4480 H854 all H3605 thy neighbors H7934 , even empty H7386 vessels H3627 ; borrow not a few H408 H4591 .
|
|
4. and thou hast entered, and shut the door upon thee, and upon thy sons, and hast poured out into all these vessels, and the full ones thou dost remove.`
|
4. And when thou art come in H935 , thou shalt shut H5462 the door H1817 upon H1157 thee and upon H1157 thy sons H1121 , and shalt pour out H3332 into H5921 all H3605 those H428 vessels H3627 , and thou shalt set aside H5265 that which is full H4392 .
|
|
5. And she goeth from him, and shutteth the door upon her, and upon her sons; they are bringing nigh unto her, and she is pouring out,
|
5. So she went H1980 from H4480 H854 him , and shut H5462 the door H1817 upon H1157 her and upon H1157 her sons H1121 , who H1992 brought H5066 the vessels to H413 her ; and she H1931 poured out H3332 .
|
|
6. and it cometh to pass, at the filling of the vessels, that she saith unto her son, `Bring nigh unto me a vessel more,` and he saith unto her, `There is not a vessel more;` and the oil stayeth.
|
6. And it came to pass H1961 , when the vessels H3627 were full H4390 , that she said H559 unto H413 her son H1121 , Bring H5066 H413 me yet H5750 a vessel H3627 . And he said H559 unto H413 her, There is not H369 a vessel H3627 more H5750 . And the oil H8081 stayed H5975 .
|
|
7. And she cometh and declareth to the man of God, and he saith, `Go, sell the oil, and repay thy loan; and thou and thy sons do live of the rest.`
|
7. Then she came H935 and told H5046 the man H376 of God H430 . And he said H559 , Go H1980 , sell H4376 H853 the oil H8081 , and pay H7999 H853 thy debt H5386 , and live H2421 thou H859 and thy children H1121 of the rest H3498 .
|
|
8. And the day cometh that Elisha passeth over unto Shunem, and there is a great woman, and she layeth hold on him to eat bread, and it cometh to pass, at the time of his passing over, he turneth aside thither to eat bread,
|
8. And it fell H1961 on a day H3117 , that Elisha H477 passed H5674 to H413 Shunem H7766 , where H8033 was a great H1419 woman H802 ; and she constrained H2388 him to eat H398 bread H3899 . And so it was H1961 , that as oft H4480 H1767 as he passed by H5674 , he turned in H5493 thither H8033 to eat H398 bread H3899 .
|
|
9. and she saith unto her husband, `Lo, I pray thee, I have known that a holy man of God he is, passing over by us continually;
|
9. And she said H559 unto H413 her husband H376 , Behold H2009 now H4994 , I perceive H3045 that H3588 this H1931 is a holy H6918 man H376 of God H430 , which passeth by H5674 H5921 us continually H8548 .
|
|
10. let us make, I pray thee, a little upper chamber of the wall, and we set for him there a bed, and a table, and a high seat, and a candlestick; and it hath been, in his coming in unto us, he doth turn aside thither.`
|
10. Let us make H6213 a little H6996 chamber H5944 , I pray thee H4994 , on the wall H7023 ; and let us set H7760 for him there H8033 a bed H4296 , and a table H7979 , and a stool H3678 , and a candlestick H4501 : and it shall be H1961 , when he cometh H935 to H413 us , that he shall turn in H5493 thither H8033 .
|
|
11. And the day cometh, that he cometh in thither, and turneth aside unto the upper chamber, and lieth there,
|
11. And it fell H1961 on a day H3117 , that he came H935 thither H8033 , and he turned H5493 into H413 the chamber H5944 , and lay H7901 there H8033 .
|
|
12. and he saith unto Gehazi his young man, `Call for this Shunammite;` and he calleth for her, and she standeth before him.
|
12. And he said H559 to H413 Gehazi H1522 his servant H5288 , Call H7121 this H2063 Shunammite H7767 . And when he had called H7121 her , she stood H5975 before H6440 him.
|
|
13. And he saith to him, `Say, I pray thee, unto her, Lo, thou hast troubled thyself concerning us with all this trouble; what -- to do for thee? is it to speak for thee unto the king, or unto the head of the host?` and she saith, `In the midst of my people I am dwelling.`
|
13. And he said H559 unto him, Say H559 now H4994 unto H413 her, Behold H2009 , thou hast been careful H2729 for H413 us with H854 all H3605 this H2063 care H2731 ; what H4100 is to be done H6213 for thee? wouldest H3426 thou be spoken H1696 for to H413 the king H4428 , or H176 to H413 the captain H8269 of the host H6635 ? And she answered H559 , I H595 dwell H3427 among H8432 mine own people H5971 .
|
|
14. And he saith, `And what -- to do for her?` and Gehazi saith, `Verily she hath no son, and her husband is aged.`
|
14. And he said H559 , What H4100 then is to be done H6213 for her? And Gehazi H1522 answered H559 , Verily H61 she hath no H369 child H1121 , and her husband H376 is old H2204 .
|
|
15. And he saith, `Call for her;` and he calleth for her, and she standeth at the opening,
|
15. And he said H559 , Call H7121 her . And when he had called H7121 her , she stood H5975 in the door H6607 .
|
|
16. and he saith, `At this season, according to the time of life, thou art embracing a son;` and she saith, `Nay, my lord, O man of God, do not lie unto thy maid-servant.`
|
16. And he said H559 , About this H2088 season H4150 , according to the time H6256 of life H2416 , thou H859 shalt embrace H2263 a son H1121 . And she said H559 , Nay H408 , my lord H113 , thou man H376 of God H430 , do not lie H3576 H408 unto thine handmaid H8198 .
|
|
17. And the woman conceiveth and beareth a son, at this season, according to the time of life, that Elisha spake of unto her.
|
17. And the woman H802 conceived H2029 , and bore H3205 a son H1121 at that H2088 season H4150 that H834 Elisha H477 had said H1696 unto H413 her , according to the time H6256 of life H2416 .
|
|
18. And the lad groweth, and the day cometh that he goeth out unto his father, unto the reapers,
|
18. And when the child H3206 was grown H1431 , it fell H1961 on a day H3117 , that he went out H3318 to H413 his father H1 to H413 the reapers H7114 .
|
|
19. and he saith unto his father, `My head, my head;` and he saith unto the young man, `Bear him unto his mother;`
|
19. And he said H559 unto H413 his father H1 , My head H7218 , my head H7218 . And he said H559 to H413 a lad H5288 , Carry H5375 him to H413 his mother H517 .
|
|
20. and he beareth him, and bringeth him in unto his mother, and he sitteth on her knees till the noon, and dieth.
|
20. And when he had taken H5375 him , and brought H935 him to H413 his mother H517 , he sat H3427 on H5921 her knees H1290 till H5704 noon H6672 , and then died H4191 .
|
|
21. And she goeth up, and layeth him on the bed of the man of God, and shutteth the door upon him, and goeth out,
|
21. And she went up H5927 , and laid H7901 him on H5921 the bed H4296 of the man H376 of God H430 , and shut H5462 the door upon H1157 him , and went out H3318 .
|
|
22. and calleth unto her husband, and saith, `Send, I pray thee, to me, one of the young men, and one of the asses, and I run unto the man of God, and return.`
|
22. And she called H7121 unto H413 her husband H376 , and said H559 , Send H7971 me , I pray thee H4994 , one H259 of H4480 the young men H5288 , and one H259 of the asses H860 , that I may run H7323 to H5704 the man H376 of God H430 , and come again H7725 .
|
|
23. And he saith, `Wherefore art thou going unto him to-day? -- neither new moon nor sabbath!` and she saith, `Peace to thee!`
|
23. And he said H559 , Wherefore H4069 wilt thou H859 go H1980 to H413 him today H3117 ? it is neither H3808 new moon H2320 , nor H3808 sabbath H7676 . And she said H559 , It shall be well H7965 .
|
|
24. And she saddleth the ass, and saith unto her young man, `Lead, and go, do not restrain riding for me, except I have said so to thee.`
|
24. Then she saddled H2280 an ass H860 , and said H559 to H413 her servant H5288 , Drive H5090 , and go forward H1980 ; slack H6113 not H408 thy riding H7392 for me, except H3588 H518 I bid H559 thee.
|
|
25. And she goeth, and cometh in unto the man of God, unto the hill of Carmel, and it cometh to pass, at the man of God`s seeing her from over-against, that he saith unto Gehazi his young man, `Lo, this Shunammite;
|
25. So she went H1980 and came H935 unto H413 the man H376 of God H430 to H413 mount H2022 Carmel H3760 . And it came to pass H1961 , when the man H376 of God H430 saw H7200 her afar off H4480 H5048 , that he said H559 to H413 Gehazi H1522 his servant H5288 , Behold H2009 , yonder is that H1975 Shunammite H7767 :
|
|
26. now, run, I pray thee, to meet her, and say to her, Is there peace to thee? is there peace to thy husband? is there peace to the lad?` and she saith, `Peace.`
|
26. Run H7323 now H6258 , I pray thee H4994 , to meet H7122 her , and say H559 unto her, Is it well H7965 with thee? is it well H7965 with thy husband H376 ? is it well H7965 with the child H3206 ? And she answered H559 , It is well H7965 .
|
|
27. And she cometh in unto the man of God, unto the hill, and layeth hold on his feet, and Gehazi cometh nigh to thrust her away, and the man of God saith, `Let her alone, for her soul is bitter to her, and Jehovah hath hidden it from me, and hath not declared it to me.`
|
27. And when she came H935 to H413 the man H376 of God H430 to H413 the hill H2022 , she caught H2388 him by the feet H7272 : but Gehazi H1522 came near H5066 to thrust her away H1920 . And the man H376 of God H430 said H559 , Let her alone H7503 ; for H3588 her soul H5315 is vexed H4843 within her : and the LORD H3068 hath hid H5956 it from H4480 me , and hath not H3808 told H5046 me.
|
|
28. And she saith, `Did I ask a son from my lord? did I not say, Do not deceive me?`
|
28. Then she said H559 , Did I desire H7592 a son H1121 of H4480 H854 my lord H113 ? did I not H3808 say H559 , Do not H3808 deceive H7952 me?
|
|
29. And he saith to Gehazi, `Gird up thy loins, and take my staff in thy hand, and go; when thou dost meet a man, thou dost not salute him; and when a man doth salute thee, thou dost not answer him; and thou hast laid my staff on the face of the youth.`
|
29. Then he said H559 to Gehazi H1522 , Gird up H2296 thy loins H4975 , and take H3947 my staff H4938 in thine hand H3027 , and go thy way H1980 : if H3588 thou meet H4672 any man H376 , salute H1288 him not H3808 ; and if H3588 any H376 salute H1288 thee, answer H6030 him not H3808 again : and lay H7760 my staff H4938 upon H5921 the face H6440 of the child H5288 .
|
|
30. And the mother of the youth saith, `Jehovah liveth, and thy soul liveth -- if I leave thee;` and he riseth and goeth after her.
|
30. And the mother H517 of the child H5288 said H559 , As the LORD H3068 liveth H2416 , and as thy soul H5315 liveth H2416 , I will not H518 leave H5800 thee . And he arose H6965 , and followed H1980 H310 her.
|
|
31. And Gehazi hath passed on before them, and layeth the staff on the face of the youth, and there is no voice, and there is no attention, and he turneth back to meet him, and declareth to him, saying, `The youth hath not awaked.`
|
31. And Gehazi H1522 passed on H5674 before H6440 them , and laid H7760 H853 the staff H4938 upon H5921 the face H6440 of the child H5288 ; but there was neither H369 voice H6963 , nor H369 hearing H7182 . Wherefore he went again H7725 to meet H7122 him , and told H5046 him, saying H559 , The child H5288 is not H3808 awaked H6974 .
|
|
32. And Elisha cometh in to the house, and lo, the youth is dead, laid on his bed,
|
32. And when Elisha H477 was come H935 into the house H1004 , behold H2009 , the child H5288 was dead H4191 , and laid H7901 upon H5921 his bed H4296 .
|
|
33. and he goeth in and shutteth the door upon them both, and prayeth unto Jehovah.
|
33. He went in H935 therefore , and shut H5462 the door H1817 upon H1157 them twain H8147 , and prayed H6419 unto H413 the LORD H3068 .
|
|
34. And he goeth up, and lieth down on the lad, and putteth his mouth on his mouth, and his eyes on his eyes, and his hands on his hands, and stretcheth himself upon him, and the flesh of the lad becometh warm;
|
34. And he went up H5927 , and lay H7901 upon H5921 the child H3206 , and put H7760 his mouth H6310 upon H5921 his mouth H6310 , and his eyes H5869 upon H5921 his eyes H5869 , and his hands H3709 upon H5921 his hands H3709 : and he stretched H1457 himself upon H5921 the child ; and the flesh H1320 of the child H3206 waxed warm H2552 .
|
|
35. and he turneth back and walketh in the house, once hither and once thither, and goeth up and stretcheth himself upon him, and the youth sneezeth till seven times, and the youth openeth his eyes.
|
35. Then he returned H7725 , and walked H1980 in the house H1004 to and fro H259 H2008 H259 H2008 ; and went up H5927 , and stretched H1457 himself upon H5921 him : and the child H5288 sneezed H2237 H5704 seven H7651 times H6471 , and the child H5288 opened H6491 H853 his eyes H5869 .
|
|
36. And he calleth unto Gehazi, and saith, `Call unto this Shunammite;` and he calleth her, and she cometh in unto him, and he saith, `Lift up thy son.`
|
36. And he called H7121 H413 Gehazi H1522 , and said H559 , Call H7121 H413 this H2063 Shunammite H7767 . So he called H7121 her . And when she was come H935 in unto H413 him , he said H559 , Take up H5375 thy son H1121 .
|
|
37. And she goeth in, and falleth at his feet, and boweth herself to the earth, and lifteth up her son, and goeth out.
|
37. Then she went in H935 , and fell H5307 at H5921 his feet H7272 , and bowed herself H7812 to the ground H776 , and took up H5375 H853 her son H1121 , and went out H3318 .
|
|
38. And Elisha hath turned back to Gilgal, and the famine is in the land, and the sons of the prophets are sitting before him, and he saith to his young man, `Set on the great pot, and boil pottage for the sons of the prophets.`
|
38. And Elisha H477 came again H7725 to Gilgal H1537 : and there was a dearth H7458 in the land H776 ; and the sons H1121 of the prophets H5030 were sitting H3427 before H6440 him : and he said H559 unto his servant H5288 , Set on H8239 the great H1419 pot H5518 , and seethe H1310 pottage H5138 for the sons H1121 of the prophets H5030 .
|
|
39. And one goeth out unto the field to gather herbs, and findeth a vine of the field, and gathereth of it gourds of the field -- the fulness of his garment -- and cometh in and splitteth them into the pot of pottage, for they knew them not;
|
39. And one H259 went out H3318 into H413 the field H7704 to gather H3950 herbs H219 , and found H4672 a wild H7704 vine H1612 , and gathered H3950 thereof H4480 wild H7704 gourds H6498 his lap H899 full H4393 , and came H935 and shred H6398 them into H413 the pot H5518 of pottage H5138 : for H3588 they knew H3045 them not H3808 .
|
|
40. and they pour out for the men to eat, and it cometh to pass at their eating of the pottage, that they have cried out, and say, `Death is in the pot, O man of God!` and they have not been able to eat.
|
40. So they poured out H3332 for the men H376 to eat H398 . And it came to pass H1961 , as they were eating H398 of the pottage H4480 H5138 , that they H1992 cried out H6817 , and said H559 , O thou man H376 of God H430 , there is death H4194 in the pot H5518 . And they could H3201 not H3808 eat H398 thereof .
|
|
41. And he saith, `Then bring ye meal;` and he casteth into the pot, and saith, `Pour out for the people, and they eat;` and there was no evil thing in the pot.
|
41. But he said H559 , Then bring H3947 meal H7058 . And he cast H7993 it into H413 the pot H5518 ; and he said H559 , Pour out H3332 for the people H5971 , that they may eat H398 . And there was H1961 no H3808 harm H1697 H7451 in the pot H5518 .
|
|
42. And a man hath come from Baal-Shalishah, and bringeth in to the man of God bread of first-fruits, twenty loaves of barley, and full ears of corn in its husk, and he saith, `Give to the people, and they eat.`
|
42. And there came H935 a man H376 from Baal H4480 H1190 -shalisha , and brought H935 the man H376 of God H430 bread H3899 of the firstfruits H1061 , twenty H6242 loaves H3899 of barley H8184 , and full ears of corn H3759 in the husk H6861 thereof . And he said H559 , Give H5414 unto the people H5971 , that they may eat H398 .
|
|
43. And his minister saith, `What -- do I give this before a hundred men?` and he saith, `Give to the people, and they eat, for thus said Jehovah, Eat and leave;`
|
43. And his servitor H8334 said H559 , What H4100 , should I set H5414 this H2088 before H6440 a hundred H3967 men H376 ? He said H559 again, Give H5414 the people H5971 , that they may eat H398 : for H3588 thus H3541 saith H559 the LORD H3068 , They shall eat H398 , and shall leave H3498 thereof .
|
|
44. and he giveth before them, and they eat and leave, according to the word of Jehovah.
|
44. So he set H5414 it before H6440 them , and they did eat H398 , and left H3498 thereof , according to the word H1697 of the LORD H3068 .
|
