Elisha Purifies the Deadly Stew

38 And Elisha came again to ^aGilgal when ^bthere was a famine in the land. And as ^cthe sons of the prophets ^dwere sitting before him, he said to his servant, ^e“Set on the large pot, and boil stew for the sons of the prophets.” 39 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. 40 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. 41 He said, “Then bring flour.” ^fAnd 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.
