Text:
2 Kings 4
The fate of widows was perilous in the ancient Middle East. A practical test of biblical piety was to observe how those in power treated widows and orphans.
Job 24:21; Psalms 146:9
Both the Bible (Leviticus 25:39-45) and other ancient laws permitted selling one's family members into slavery for payment of debts.
God's law worked toward limiting the abuse and the length of time in such a situation.
The small flask held olive oil intended for anointing rather than food or fuel. Such a small flask was not very valuable.
Elisha met not only her immediate needs but the long-range ones as well.
