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.
18
They returned to him while he was staying at Jericho; and he said to them, "Did I not say to you, 'Do not go '?"
19
Then the men of the city said to Elisha, "Behold now, the situation of this city is pleasant, as my lord sees; but the water is bad and the land is unfruitful."
20
He said, "Bring me a new jar, and put salt in it." So they brought it to him.
21
He went out to the spring of water and threw salt in it and said, "Thus says the LORD , 'I have purified these waters; there shall not be from there death or unfruitfulness any longer.' "
22
So the waters have been purified to this day, according to the word of Elisha which he spoke.
