Elisha Feeds the People

⁴² A man from Baal Shalishah came to Elisha, bringing him twenty loaves of barley bread from the first ·harvest [fruits]. He also brought fresh grain in his sack. Elisha said, “Give it to the people to eat.”

⁴³ Elisha’s servant asked, “How can I ·feed a hundred people with so little [^Lset this before a hundred people]?”

“Give the bread to the people to eat,” Elisha ·said [repeated]. “·This is what the Lord says [^TThus says the Lord]: ‘They will eat and will have food left over.’” ⁴⁴ After he gave it to them, the people ate and had food left over, ·as the Lord had said [^Lin accordance with the word of the Lord].
