Elisha Recovers a Lost Axe Head
1 Then the sons of the prophets said to Elisha, "Please look; the place where we are living before you [is] too cramped for us.
2
Let us please go to the Jordan and each bring from there one log that we might make a place there for us to live." Then he said, "Do so."
3
Then a certain one said, "Please be prepared and go with your servants," and he said, "I will go."
4
He went with them, and they went to the Jordan, and they cut down the trees.
5
It happened as the one [was] felling the log, that the iron ax fell into the water. He called out and said, "Oh, no! My master, it was borrowed!"
6
Then the man of God said, "Where did it fall?" So he showed him the place, and then he cut off a stick and threw [it] there and made the iron ax float.
7
Then he said, "Pick [it] up for yourself," so he stretched out his hand and took it.
