BRAGADAYJAH 1065
Miracle of the Widows Oil
The king of Moab then took his eldest son that could have reigned in his stead, and offered him for a burnt offering upon the wall. And there was great indignation against Israel. And they then the Amorites left and returned to their own land. Now at that time a woman one of the wives of the sons of the prophets appeared unto Elisha and said to him, “Thy servant my husband is dead; and you know that he was a man who feared the Lord. And now his creditors have come to take my two sons to be bondsmen.” And Elisha said to her, “What shall I do for you. What do you have in your house?” And she told Elisha that the only thing she had was a pot of oil. And Elisha told her to go to her neighbors and borrow as many empty vessels as she could, telling her to make sure she got quite a lot. And Elisha told her further, that when she would have gathered all the empty vessels she could, she should shut herself and her sons inside her house, and start filling all the empty vessels she had gathered with oil from the one pot which she had. And when there was no pots left, she went and told Elisha and he told her to go sell the oil and pay her debts, and use the rest of the money she got for herself and her sons to live on.
