Contextual Overview

1 And the sons of the prophets said to Elisha, See, now, the place where we are living with you is too narrow for us. 2 Please let us go to the Jordan, and we each one shall take a beam from there. And we shall make for ourselves a place there, to live there. And he said, Go. 3 And the one said, Please be willing, and go with your servants. And he said, I will surely go. 4 And he went with them. And they came to the Jordan, and cut down trees. 5 And it happened that one was felling the log, and the iron fell into the water. And he cried out and said, Alas, my lord! For it was borrowed. 6 And the man of God said, Where did it fall? And he made him see the place. And he cut a stick and threw it in there, and made the iron float. 7 And he said, Take it up to you. And he put out his hand and took it.
