4:1
Ve'ishah achat minshei venei-hanevi'im tza'akah el-Elisha lemor avdecha ishi met ve'atah yadata ki avdecha hayah yare et-HASHEM vehanosheh ba lakachat et-shenei yeladai lo la'avadim.
A certain woman of the wives of the sons of the prophets cried out to Elisha, saying, "Your servant my husband is dead, and you know that your servant feared HASHEM. And the creditor is coming to take my two sons to be his slaves."
So Elisha said to her, "What shall I do for you? Tell me, what do you have in the house?" And she said, "Your maidservant has nothing in the house but a jar of oil."
Then he said, "Go, borrow vessels from everywhere, from all your neighbors--empty vessels; do not gather just a few.
And when you have come in, you shall shut the door behind you and your sons; then pour it into all those vessels, and set aside the full ones."
So she went from him and shut the door behind her and her sons, who brought the vessels to her; and she poured it out.
Now it came to pass, when the vessels were full, that she said to her son, "Bring me another vessel." And he said to her, "There is not another vessel." So the oil ceased.
Then she came and told the man of G-d. And he said, "Go, sell the oil and pay your debt; and you and your sons live on the rest."
Now it happened one day that Elisha went to Shunem, where there was a notable woman, and she persuaded him to eat some food. So it was, as often as he passed by, he would turn in there to eat some food.
And she said to her husband, "Look now, I know that this is a holy man of G-d, who passes by us regularly.
Please, let us make a small upper room on the wall; and let us put a bed for him there, and a table and a chair and a lampstand; so it will be, whenever he comes to us, he can turn in there."
The Shunamit Woman's Hospitality
11 Vayehi hayom vayavo shamah vayasar el-ha'alyah vayishkav-shamah.
It happened one day that he arrived there, and he turned in to the attic and lay down there.
He said to Gechazi his attendant, "Summon that Shunamite woman." He summoned her and she stood before him.
He then said to [Gechazi], "Please say to her, 'Behold, you have undertaken all this exertion on our behalf - what [favor] can be done for you? Can something be said on your behalf to the king or the army commander?'" She replied, "I dwell among my people."
So he said [to Gechazi], "What can be done for her?"
Elisha's Blessing of a Son
15 Vayomer kera-lah vayikra-lah vata'amod bapatach.
He said, "Summon her"; so he summoned her and she stood in the doorway.
[Elisha] said, "At this season next year you will embracing a son." She said, "Do not, my master, O man of G-d, do not disappoint your maidservant!"
The woman conceived and bore a son at that season the next year, as Elisha had told her.
The boy grew up. It happened one day, he went out to his father, to the reapers [in the field].
He said to his father, "My head! My head!" [His father] said to the attendant, "Carry him to his mother."
He carried him and brought him to his mother; he sat in her lap until noon, and then he died.
She went up and laid him on the bed of the man of G-d, shut [the door] upon him and left.
She then called her husband and said, "Please send me one of the attendants and one of the donkeys, so that I can hurry to the man of G-d and return."
He said, "Why are you going to him today? It is not a New Moon or a Sabbath!"
She saddled the donkey and said to her attendant, "Lead and go, and do not impede me from riding unless I tell you."
She set out and came to the man of G-d at Mount Carmel. When the man of G-d saw her from afar, he said to Gechazi, his attendant, "Behold - it is that Shunamit woman!
Now, please run toward her and say to her, 'Is it well with you? Is it well with your husband? Is it well with the boy?"
She came before the man of G-d at the mountain and grasped his legs. Gechazi approached to push her away, but the man of G-d said, "Leave her, for her soul is bitter within her, HASHEM has hidden it from me and not told me."
She said, "Did I request a son of my master? Did I not say, 'Do not mislead me!'?"
he said to Gechazi, "Gird your loins; take my staff in your hand and go. If you meet a man, do not greet him, and if a man greets you, do not respond to him. Place my staff upon the lad's face."
The lad's mother said. "[I swear] as HASHEM lives and and [I swear] as you live, I will not leave you!" So he arose and went after her.
Gechazi went ahead of them and placed the staff on the lad's face, but there was no sound and nothing was heard. He returned toward [Elisha] and told him saying, "The lad has not awakened."
Elisha came into the house and behold - the lad was dead, laid out on his bed.
He entered and shut the door behind them both, and prayed to HASHEM.
Then he went up and lay upon the boy, placing his mouth upon his mouth, his eyes upon his eyes, and his palms upon his palms. He stretched himself out over him, and warmed the flesh of the boy.
He withdrew and walked through the house, once this way and once that way, then he went up and stretched himself over him. The lad sneezed seven times, and the lad opened his eyes.
[Elisha] called Gechazi and said, "Summon this Shunamit woman." He summoned her and she came to him; he said, "Pick up your son!"
She came and fell at his feet and bowed down to the ground; she then picked up her son and left.
