1 And sons of the prophet say unto Elisha, 'Lo, we pray thee, the place where we are dwelling before thee is too strait for us;

2 let us go, we pray thee, unto the Jordan, and we take thence each one beam, and we make for ourselves there a place to dwell there;' and he saith, 'Go.'

3 And the one saith, 'Be pleased, I pray thee, and go with thy servants;' and he saith, 'I — I go.'

4 And he goeth with them, and they come in to the Jordan, and cut down the trees,

5 and it cometh to pass, the one is felling the beam, and the iron hath fallen into the water, and he crieth and saith, 'Alas! my lord, and it asked!'
