2 Reyes 2:21

Listen to 2 Reyes 2:21
21 Y él salió al manantial de las aguas, echó sal en él, y dijo: Así dice el SEÑOR: "He purificado estas aguas; de allí no saldrá más muerte ni esterilidad."

2 Reyes 2:21 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 2:21

And he went forth unto the spring of the waters
The fountain from whence they flowed, the head of them:

and cast the salt in there;
which was an unlikely means of making bad water good, since that makes it brackish, and not so drinkable, and what makes ground barren; but this method, contrary to nature, was taken, that the miracle might appear the greater; or, as the Jews express it, be a miracle within a miracle:

and said, thus saith the Lord, I have healed these waters;
he did not pretend to heal them in his own name, and by his own power, but in the name and by the power of the Lord, to whom he would have it ascribed:

there shall not be from thence any more death, or barren land;
or miscarrying; no more noxious and mortal diseases should be got by drinking them, nor any abortions occasioned by them in women, cattle, and fruit trees, as had been.

2 Reyes 2:21 In-Context

19 Entonces los hombres de la ciudad dijeron a Eliseo: He aquí, ahora el emplazamiento de esta ciudad es bueno, como mi señor ve, pero el agua es mala y la tierra estéril.
20 Y él dijo: Traedme una vasija nueva, y poned sal en ella. Y se la trajeron.
21 Y él salió al manantial de las aguas, echó sal en él, y dijo: Así dice el SEÑOR: "He purificado estas aguas; de allí no saldrá más muerte ni esterilidad."
22 Y las aguas han quedado purificadas hasta hoy, conforme a la palabra que habló Eliseo.
23 Después subió de allí a Betel; y mientras subía por el camino, unos muchachos salieron de la ciudad y se burlaban de él, y le decían: ¡Sube, calvo; sube, calvo!
