Lettering: Elijah raising the widow's son. And he stretched himself upon the child three times and cried unto the Lord and said, O Lord my God, I pray thee let this child's soul come to him again. And the Lord heard the voice of Elijah; and the soul of the child came into him again, and he revived. 1 Kings XVII. 21.
