Elisha Makes Jericho’s Water Pure

¹⁹ The people of Jericho said to Elisha, “Look. This town has a good location. You can see that for yourself. But the spring of water here is bad. So the land doesn’t produce anything.”

²⁰ “Bring me a new bowl,” Elisha said. “Put some salt in it.” So they brought it to him.

²¹ Then he went out to the spring. He threw the salt into it. He told the people, “The Lord says, ‘I have made this water pure. It will never cause death again. It will never keep the land from producing crops again.’ ”
