2 Kings 4:33 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 4:33

He went in therefore, and shut the door upon them twain
Himself and the dead child; that nobody might come in and interrupt him in his prayers for the restoration of it to life, nor see the motions and gestures he used, and the postures he put himself in:

and prayed unto the Lord;
that he would restore the child to life.

35 at ille reversus deambulavit in domo semel huc et illuc et ascendit et incubuit super eum et oscitavit puer septies aperuitque oculos
