 And Elisha 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 so that she could pay her debts and take care of her sons. Elisha told her not to just get 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 put her oil into them.
