Melachim Bais 6:1-6 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

1. And the Bnei HaNevi'im said unto Elishah, Hinei now, the makom where we dwell with thee is too tzar (cramped, crowded) for us.

2. Let us go, now, unto the Yarden, and take from there every ish one korah (beam), and let us build us a makom (place, home) there, where we may dwell. And he answered, Go, ye.

3. And one said, Be agreed, now, and go with thy avadim. And he answered, I will go.

4. So he went with them. And when they came to the Yarden, they cut down haetzim (the trees, the wood).

5. But as one was felling the korah (beam, i.e., tree) the barzel (iron [axehead]) fell into the mayim; and he cried out, and said, Alas, adoni! For it was sha'ul (being borrowed).

6. And the Ish HaElohim said, Where fell it? And he showed him the makom (place). And he cut an etz (piece of wood, stick), and cast it in there; and the barzel did float up to the surface.
