2 Kings 4:32-35

32 ingressus est ergo Heliseus domum et ecce puer mortuus iacebat in lectulo eius

33 ingressusque clusit ostium super se et puerum et oravit ad Dominum

34 et ascendit et incubuit super puerum posuitque os suum super os eius et oculos suos super oculos eius et manus suas super manus eius et incurvavit se super eum et calefacta est caro pueri

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