2 Kings 2:20

And he said, bring me a new cruse, and put salt therein
One that had never been used, that it might not be thought that the virtue was owing to anything that had been, or was, put into it:

and they brought it to him;
the pot with the salt in it.

2 Kings 2:20 In-Context

18 And when they came again to him (for he tarried at Jericho), he said unto them, Did I not tell you to not go?

19 And the men of the city said unto Elisha, Behold, the seat of this city is good, as my lord sees, but the water is evil, and the ground barren.

20 Then he said, Bring me a new cruse and put salt in it. And they brought it to him.

21 And he went forth unto the springs of the waters and cast the salt in there and said, Thus hath the LORD said, I have healed these waters; there shall be no more death or barrenness in them.

22 So the waters were healed unto this day, according to the word which Elisha spoke.
