And she said, Your handmaid has not any thing in the house, save a pot of oil. 3Then he said, Go, borrow you vessels abroad of all your neighbors, even empty vessels; borrow not a few. 4And when you are come in, you shall shut the door on you and on your sons, and shall pour out into all those vessels, and you shall set aside that which is full. 5So she went from him, and shut the door on her and on her sons, who brought the vessels to her; and she poured out. 6And it came to pass, when the vessels were full, that she said to her son, Bring me yet a vessel.
