Elisha throws salt into the spring of the waters, and the waters are healed according to Elisha’s word

엘리사가 물 근원에 소금을 던지고 그 물이 엘리사의 말과 같이 고쳐짐

2 Kings 2:19–22: The men of the city say to Elisha, “Behold, please, the situation of this city is pleasant, as my lord sees; but the water is bad, and the land is barren.” He says, “Bring me a new jar, and put salt in it.” Then they bring it to him. He goes out to the spring of the waters, and throws salt into it, and says, “The LORD says, ‘I have healed these waters. There shall not be from there any more death or barren wasteland.’” The text says, “So the waters were healed to this day, according to Elisha’s word which he spoke.” The passage does not name the city. The Korean Revised Version reads 우리 주께서 보시는 바와 같이 (as our lord sees) at 2:19, where WEB reads “as my lord sees”, and names Elisha at 2:20 and 2:21 (엘리사가), where WEB says “He”.
