4:1

The Four Miracles of Aliysha and the Resurrection Protocol

Now there cried a certain woman of the wives of the sons of the prophets unto Aliysha, saying, "Thy servant my husband is dead; and thou knowest that thy servant did fear 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄: and the creditor is come to take unto him my two sons to be bondmen."

4:2

And Aliysha said unto her, "What shall I do for thee? tell me, what hast thou in the house?" And she said, "Thine handmaid hath not any thing in the house, save a pot of oil."

4:3

The Preparation of the Vessels

Then he said, "Go, borrow thee vessels abroad of all thy neighbors, even empty vessels; borrow not a few."

4:4

"And when thou art come in, thou shalt shut the door upon thee and upon thy sons, and shalt pour out into all those vessels, and thou shalt set aside that which is full."

4:5

The Flow of the Anointing

So she went from him, and shut the door upon her and upon her sons, who brought the vessels to her; and she poured out.

4:6

And it came to pass, when the vessels were full, that she said unto her son, "Bring me yet a vessel." And he said unto her, "There is not a vessel more." And the oil stayed.

4:7

The Terrestrial Debt Cancelled

Then she came and told the man of Alahiym. And he said, "Go, sell the oil, and pay thy debt, and live thou and thy children of the rest."

4:8

The Hospitality of the Great Woman

And it fell on a day, that Aliysha passed to Shunem, where was a great woman; and she constrained him to eat bread. And so it was, that as oft as he passed by, he turned in thither to eat bread.

4:9

And she said unto her husband, "Behold now, I perceive that this is a holy (Qodesh) man of Alahiym, which passeth by us continually."

4:10

The Architectural Anchor

"Let us make a little chamber, I pray thee, on the wall; and let us set for him there a bed, and a table, and a stool, and a candlestick: and it shall be, when he cometh to us, that he shall turn in thither."

4:11

And it fell on a day, that he came thither, and he turned into the chamber, and lay there.

4:12

The Inquiry of Aliysha

And he said to Gehazi his servant, "Call this Shunammite." And when he had called her, she stood before him.

4:13

And he said unto him, "Say now unto her, Behold, thou hast been careful for us with all this care; what is to be done for thee? wouldest thou be spoken for to the king, or to the captain of the host?" And she answered, "I dwell among mine own people."

4:14

The Discovery of the Barren Womb

And he said, "What then is to be done for her?" And Gehazi answered, "Verily she hath no child, and her husband is old."

4:15

And he said, "Call her." And when he had called her, she stood in the door.

4:16

The Decree of the Time of Life

And he said, "About this season, according to the time of life, thou shalt embrace a son." And she said, "Nay, my adun, thou man of Alahiym, do not lie unto thine handmaid."

4:17

And the woman conceived, and bore a son at that season that Aliysha had said unto her, according to the time of life.

4:18

The Sudden Tragedy in the Field

And when the child was grown, it fell on a day, that he went out to his father to the reapers.

4:19

And he said unto his father, "My head, my head." And he said to a lad, "Carry him to his mother."

4:20

And when he had taken him, and brought him to his mother, he sat on her knees till noon, and then died.

4:21

The Sealing of the Chamber

And she went up, and laid him on the bed of the man of Alahiym, and shut the door upon him, and went out.

4:22

The Ride to Mount Carmel

And she called unto her husband, and said, "Send me, I pray thee, one of the young men, and one of the donkeys, that I may run to the man of Alahiym, and come again."

4:23

And he said, "Wherefore wilt thou go to him today? it is neither new moon (Chodesh), nor sabbath." And she said, "It shall be well (Shalum)."

4:24

Then she saddled a donkey, and said to her servant, "Drive, and go forward; slack not thy riding for me, except I bid thee."

4:25

The Encounter with Gehazi

So she went and came unto the man of Alahiym to mount Carmel. And it came to pass, when the man of Alahiym saw her afar off, that he said to Gehazi his servant, "Behold, yonder is that Shunammite:"

4:26

"Run now, I pray thee, to meet her, and say unto her, Is it well with thee? is it well with thy husband? is it well with the child?" And she answered, "It is well (Shalum)."

4:27

The Hidden Grief

And when she came to the man of Alahiym to the hill, she caught him by the feet: but Gehazi came near to thrust her away. And the man of Alahiym said, "Let her alone; for her soul is vexed within her: and 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 hath hid it from me, and hath not told me."

4:28

Then she said, "Did I desire a son of my adun? did I not say, Do not deceive me?"

4:29

The Failure of the Delegated Staff

Then he said to Gehazi, "Gird up thy loins, and take my staff in thine hand, and go thy way: if thou meet any man, salute him not; and if any salute thee, answer him not again: and lay my staff upon the face of the child."

4:30

And the mother of the child said, "As 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee." And he arose, and followed her.

4:31

And Gehazi passed on before them, and laid the staff upon the face of the child; but there was neither voice, nor hearing. Wherefore he went again to meet him, and told him, saying, "The child is not awaked."

4:32

The Resurrection Protocol

And when Aliysha was come into the house, behold, the child was dead, and laid upon his bed.

4:33

He went in therefore, and shut the door upon them twain, and prayed unto 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄.

4:34

The Biological Frequency Transfer

And he went up, and lay upon the child, and put his mouth upon his mouth, and his eyes upon his eyes, and his hands upon his hands: and he stretched himself upon the child; and the flesh of the child waxed warm.

4:35

Then he returned, and walked in the house to and fro; and went up, and stretched himself upon him: and the child sneezed seven times, and the child opened his eyes.

4:36

The Restoration to the Mother

And he called Gehazi, and said, "Call this Shunammite." So he called her. And when she was come in unto him, he said, "Take up thy son."

4:37

Then she went in, and fell at his feet, and bowed herself to the ground, and took up her son, and went out.

4:38

The Famine at Gilgal and the Death in the Pot

And Aliysha came again to Gilgal: and there was a dearth in the land; and the sons of the prophets were sitting before him: and he said unto his servant, "Set on the great pot, and seethe pottage for the sons of the prophets."

4:39

And one went out into the field to gather herbs, and found a wild vine, and gathered thereof wild gourds his lap full, and came and shred them into the pot of pottage: for they knew them not.

4:40

So they poured out for the men to eat. And it came to pass, as they were eating of the pottage, that they cried out, and said, "O man of Alahiym, there is death in the pot." And they could not eat thereof.

4:41

The Chemical Override via the Meal

But he said, "Then bring meal." And he cast it into the pot; and he said, "Pour out for the people, that they may eat." And there was no harm in the pot.

4:42

The Override of Scarcity: The Twenty Loaves

And there came a man from Baal-shalisha, and brought the man of Alahiym bread of the firstfruits, twenty loaves of barley, and full ears of corn in the husk thereof. And he said, "Give unto the people, that they may eat."

4:43

And his servitor said, "What, should I set this before a hundred men?" He said again, "Give the people, that they may eat: for thus saith 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, They shall eat, and shall leave thereof."

4:44

The Mathematical Paradox Fulfilled

So he set it before them, and they did eat, and left thereof, according to the word of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄.
