Compare all
32 When Elisha came into the house, there was the child, lying dead on his bed.
33 He awent in therefore, shut the door behind the two of them, band prayed to the Lord.  
34 And he went up and lay on the child, and put his mouth on his mouth, his eyes on his eyes, and his hands on his hands; and ahe stretched himself out on the child, and the flesh of the child became warm.  
35 He returned and walked back and forth in the house, and again went up aand stretched himself out on him; then bthe child sneezed seven times, and the child opened his eyes.  
36 And he called Gehazi and said, “Call this Shunammite woman.” So he called her. And when she came in to him, he said, “Pick up your son.”
37 So she went in, fell at his feet, and bowed to the ground; then she apicked up her son and went out.

2 Kings 4:34

lay upon the child, etc.—(see I Kings 17:21; Acts 20:10). Although this contact with a dead body would communicate ceremonial uncleanness, yet, in performing the great moral duties of piety and benevolence, positive laws were sometimes dispensed with, particularly by the prophets.
