Two measures of barley for a shekel, and a measure of fine
flour for a shekel, shall be tomorrow about this time
in the gate of Samaria;
007:019 and that captain answered the man of God, and said, Now, behold,
if Yahweh should make windows in heaven, might such a thing
be? and he said, Behold, you shall see it with your eyes,
but shall not eat of it:
007:020 it happened even so to him; for the people trod on him in the gate,
and he died.
008:001 Now Elisha had spoken to the woman, whose son he had restored
to life, saying, Arise, and go you and your household, and sojourn
wherever you can sojourn: for Yahweh has called for a famine;
and it shall also come on the land seven years.
008:002 The woman arose, and did according to the word of the man of God;
and she went with her household, and sojourned in the land
of the Philistines seven years.
008:003 It happened at the seven years' end, that the woman returned
out of the land of the Philistines: and she went forth to cry
to the king for her house and for her land.
008:004 Now the king was talking with Gehazi the servant of the man
