1 And the sons of the prophets said to Elisha, Behold now, the place where we live with you [is] too small for us.2 Please let us go to Jordan. And let each man take a beam from there. And let us make us a place there, where we may dwell. And he answered, Go.3 And one said, Be content, please, and go with your servants. And he answered them, I will go.4 And he went with them. And they came to Jordan, and they cut down trees.5 And it happened as one was felling a log, the axe-head fell into the water. And he cried and said, Alas, master! For it was borrowed.6 And the man of God said, Where did it fall? And he showed him the place. And he cut down a stick and threw [it] in there. And the iron swam.7 And he said, take [it] up to you. And he put out his hand and took it.
