 And the prophet told her to go and borrow lots of empty jars for that little bit of oil. A miracle was coming her way. God was going to turn her little jar of oil into an oil factory that she could pay her debts and take care of her sons. And Elisha told her not to get just a few jars. Although at the time she did not know why she was getting jars, she just knew to get a lot of them. After collecting the jars, he told her to pour her oil into them.
