The Widow’s Oil

4 Now a certain woman of the wives of ^(A)the sons of the prophets cried out to ^[a]Elisha, “Your servant my husband is dead, and you know that your servant feared Yahweh; and ^(B)the creditor has come to take my two children to be his slaves.”

⁵ But now ^(A)our flesh is like the flesh of our brothers, our children like their children. Yet behold, ^(B)we are forcing our sons and our daughters to be slaves, and some of our daughters are forced into subjugation, and we have no power in our hands to help, and our fields and vineyards belong to others.”
