Kings II 4:4 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 4:4

Into her house:

thou shall shut the door upon thee, and upon thy sons;

and shalt pour out into all these vessels;
out of the single pot of oil into all they borrowed:

and thou shalt set aside that which is full;
by itself, and fill the rest of the empty ones.
