32. When Elisha had come into the house, behold, the child was dead, and lying on his bed.
33. He went in therefore, and shut the door on them both, and prayed to the Lord.
34. He went up, and lay on the child, and put his mouth on his mouth, and his eyes on his eyes, and his hands on his hands. He stretched himself on him; and the child’s flesh grew warm.
35. Then he returned, and walked in the house once back and forth; and went up, and stretched himself out on him. Then the child sneezed seven times, and the child opened his eyes.
