Thomson(i)
1 When the sons of the prophets said to Elisha, Behold the place where we dwell before thee it too confined for us;
2 let us we pray thee, go to the Jordan, and take thence every man a piece of timber, and build there for ourselves a dwelling, and he said, Go;
3 one of them intreated him saying, Come along with thy servants; and he said I will go.
4 So he went with them. And when they came to the Jordan and were cutting the timber,
5 behold as one was felling the beam the ax dropped in the water. Upon which he cried out, my lord! Now it was quite hid.
6 And the man of God said, Where did it fall? And when he had shewed him the place, he cut a chip of wood and threw it there, and the ax swam on the surface.
7 And he said, Take it up. So he stretched forth his hand and took it up.
