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.

38 And Elisha returned to ^aGilgal, and there was a ^bfamine in the land. Now the sons of the prophets were ^csitting before him; and he said to his servant, “Put on the large pot, and boil stew for the sons of the prophets.”

39 So one went out into the field to gather herbs, and found a wild vine, and gathered from it a lapful of wild gourds, and came and sliced them into the pot of stew, though they did not know what they were.
