Melachim Bais 4:29-32 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

29. Then he said to Geichazi, Gird up thy loins, and take my mishe'net (staff) in thine yad, and run: if thou meet any ish, salute him not; and if any ish salute thee, answer him not again: and lay my mishe'net (staff) upon the face of the na'ar.

30. And the em hana'ar said, As Hashem liveth, and as thy nefesh liveth, I will not leave thee. And he arose, and followed her.

31. And Geichazi passed on ahead of them, and laid the mishe'net (staff) upon the face of the na'ar; but there was neither kol (voice), nor keshet (attention). So he went back to meet him, and told him, saying, The na'ar is not awakened.

32. And when Elishah was come into the bais, hinei, the na'ar was dead, and lying upon his mittah.
