| Description |
English: And Elisha came again to Gilgal when there was a famine in the land. And as the sons of the prophets were sitting before him, he said to his servant, “Set on the large pot, and boil stew for the sons of the prophets.” One of them went out into the field to gather herbs, and found a wild vine and gathered from it his lap full of wild gourds, and came and cut them up into the pot of stew, not knowing what they were. And they poured out some for the men to eat. But while they were eating of the stew, they cried out, “O man of God, there is death in the pot!” And they could not eat it. He said, “Then bring flour.” And he threw it into the pot and said, “Pour some out for the men, that they may eat.” And there was no harm in the pot. (2 Kings 4:38-41) Deutsch: Elischa kehrte nach Gilgal zurück. Im Land herrschte damals eine Hungersnot. Als die Prophetenjünger vor ihm saßen, befahl er seinem Diener: Setz den großen Topf auf und koch ein Gericht für die Prophetenjünger! Einer von ihnen ging auf das Feld hinaus, um Malven zu holen. Dabei fand er ein wildes Rankengewächs und pflückte davon so viele Früchte, wie sein Gewand fassen konnte. Dann kam er zurück und schnitt sie in den Kochtopf hinein, da man sie nicht kannte. Als man sie aber den Männern zum Essen vorsetzte und sie von der Speise kosteten, schrien sie laut und riefen: Der Tod ist im Topf, Mann Gottes. Sie konnten nichts essen. Doch er befahl: Bringt mir etwas Mehl! Er streute das Mehl in den Topf und sagte: Setzt es nun den Leuten zum Essen vor! Jetzt war nichts Schädliches mehr im Topf. (2 Kön. 4, 38-41) |
