OET (OET-LV) And_she/it_said the_mother the_child [by]_the_life of_YHWH and_live yourself_you if leave_you and_he/it_rose_up and_he/it_went after_her.
OET (OET-RV) But the mother of the young man said, “By the life of Yahweh and the life of your spirit, I won’t leave without you.” So he got ready, and went with her.
(Occurrence 0) As Yahweh lives, and as you live
(Some words not found in UHB: and=she/it_said mother_of the,child he/it_lived YHWH and,live yourself,you if leave,you and=he/it_rose_up and=he/it_went after,her )
This shows that the mother is taking an oath. The mother compares the certainty that Yahweh and Elisha are alive to the certainty of what she is saying. This is a way of making a solemn promise. Alternate translation: “As surely as Yahweh lives and as you live” or “I solemnly promise that”
4:8-37 Elisha’s dealings with the woman from Shunem are presented in two parallel sections (4:8-20, 21-37). Shunem was a border town in the tribal allotment to Issachar (Josh 19:18).

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.
