A woman of the wives of the sons of the prophets pours her pot of oil into the containers, and the oil stops flowing

선지자의 생도의 아내 중 한 여인이 한 병 기름을 그릇에 붓고 기름이 곧 그침

2 Kings 4:1–7: a certain woman of the wives of the sons of the prophets cries out to Elisha, saying, “Your servant my husband is dead. You know that your servant feared the LORD. Now the creditor has come to take for himself my two children to be slaves.” Elisha says to her, “What should I do for you? Tell me, what do you have in the house?” She says, “Your servant has nothing in the house, except a pot of oil.” Then he says, “Go, borrow empty containers from all your neighbors. Don’t borrow just a few containers. Go in and shut the door on you and on your sons, and pour oil into all those containers; and set aside those which are full.” So she goes from him, and shuts the door on herself and on her sons. They bring the containers to her, and she pours oil. When the containers were full, she says to her son, “Bring me another container.” He says to her, “There isn’t another container.” Then the oil stopped flowing. Then she comes and tells the man of God. He says, “Go, sell the oil, and pay your debt; and you and your sons live on the rest.” The Korean Revised Version names no one at 4:3 (가로되) and names the son at 4:6 (아들이 가로되); it counts two sons at 4:4, 4:5 and 4:7 (네 두 아들, 그 두 아들, 너와 네 두 아들), where WEB reads “your sons”, “her sons” and “you and your sons”.
