OET (OET-RV) “Hmmh, what could I do to help you?” Elisha responded. “Tell me, what have you got in your house?”
¶ “Your servant’s got nothing in the house except a flask of oil,” she replied.

If it would appear in your language that the woman was making a statement and then contradicting it, you could reword this as a positive statement. Alternate translation: [The only thing your maidservant has in the house is a jar of oil]

The woman is speaking of herself in the third person as your maidservant to show humility. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate this in a humble form in the first person. Alternate translation: [me, your maidservant,]

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
Acknowledgements: The Hebrew text, lemmas, and morphology are all thanks to the OSHB and some of the glosses are from Macula Hebrew.
