Then he saidh559h8799 to Gehazih1522, Gird uph2296h8798 thy loinsh4975, and takeh3947h8798 my staffh4938 in thine handh3027, and go thy wayh3212h8798: if thou meeth4672h8799 any manh376, saluteh1288h8762 him not; and if anyh376 saluteh1288h8762 thee, answer him not againh6030h8799: and layh7760h8804 my staffh4938 upon the faceh6440 of the childh5288.

30

And the motherh517 of the childh5288 saidh559h8799, As the LORDh3068 livethh2416, and as thy soulh5315 livethh2416, I will not leaveh5800h8799 thee. And he aroseh6965h8799, and followedh3212h8799h310 her.

31

And Gehazih1522 passed onh5674h8804 beforeh6440 them, and laidh7760h8799 the staffh4938 upon the faceh6440 of the childh5288; but there was neither voiceh6963, nor hearingh7182. Wherefore he went againh7725h8799 to meeth7125h8800 him, and toldh5046h8686 him, sayingh559h8800, The childh5288 is not awakedh6974h8689. hearing: Heb. attention

34

And he went uph5927h8799, and layh7901h8799 upon the childh3206, and puth7760h8799 his mouthh6310 upon his mouthh6310, and his eyesh5869 upon his eyesh5869, and his handsh3709 upon his handsh3709: and he stretchedh1457h8799 himself upon the child; and the fleshh1320 of the childh3206 waxed warmh2552h8799.

35

Then he returnedh7725h8799, and walkedh3212h8799 in the househ1004 toh259h2008 and froh259h2008; and went uph5927h8799, and stretchedh1457h8799 himself upon him: and the childh5288 sneezedh2237h8779 sevenh7651 timesh6471, and the childh5288 openedh6491h8799 his eyesh5869. to and fro: Heb. once hither and once thither

40

So they poured outh3332h8799 for the menh582 to eath398h8800. And it came to pass, as they were eatingh398h8800 of the pottageh5138, that they cried outh6817h8804, and saidh559h8799, O thou manh376 of Godh430, there is deathh4194 in the poth5518. And they couldh3201h8804 not eath398h8800 thereof .

41

But he saidh559h8799, Then bringh3947h8798 mealh7058. And he casth7993h8686 it into the poth5518; and he saidh559h8799, Pour outh3332h8798 for the peopleh5971, that they may eath398h8799. And there was no harmh1697h7451 in the poth5518. harm: Heb. evil thing
