2 Kings 4:5 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 4:5

So she went from him
And did as he advised her, borrowed many empty vessels of her neighbours, having faith in what the prophet had said to her:

and shut the door upon her, and upon her sons;
and then went to work as she was directed, with her sons:

who brought the vessels to her;
the empty ones she had borrowed: and she poured out; the oil out of her pot into them.

2 Kings 4:5 In-Context

3 Then Elisha said, "Go and get empty jars from all your neighbors. Don't ask for just a few.

4 Then go into your house and shut the door behind you and your sons. Pour oil into all the jars, and set the full ones aside."

5 So she left Elisha and shut the door behind her and her sons. As they brought the jars to her, she poured out the oil.

6 When the jars were all full, she said to her son, "Bring me another jar." But he said, "There are no more jars." Then the oil stopped flowing.

7 She went and told Elisha. And the prophet said to her, "Go, sell the oil and pay what you owe. You and your sons can live on what is left."
