1And the sons of the prophets said to Elisha, "Behold, please, the place where we dwell before you is too narrow for us."2Let us go, please, as far as the Jordan, and let us take from there each one a beam, and let us make for ourselves a place there to dwell. And he said, "Go."3And one said, "Please be willing and go with your servants." And he said, "I will go."4So he went with them, and they came to the Jordan and cut the trees.5And it happened that the one was felling the beam, and the iron fell into the water, and he cried out and said, "Alas, my lord!" And it was lost.6And the man of God said, "Where did it fall?" And he showed him the place. Then he cut wood and threw it there, and the iron floated.7And he said, "Take it up for yourself." And he sent his hand and took it.
