1 And the sons of the prophets said unto Eli-sha [my God is salvation], Behold now, the place where we dwell with youi is too small for us.
2 Let us go, we pray youi, unto Yarden [Descender], and take there every man a beam, and let us make us a place there, where we may dwell. And he answered, Go you2f.
3 And one said, Be content, I pray youi, and go with youri servants. And he answered, I will go.
4 So he went with them. And when they came to Yarden [Descender], they cut down wood.
5 But as one was felling a beam, the axe head fell into the water: and he cried, and said, Alas, master! for it was borrowed.
6 And the man of God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] said, Where fell it? And he showed him the place. And he cut down a stick, and cast [it] in there; and the iron did swim.
7 Therefore said he, Take [it] up to youi. And he put out his hand, and took it.
