The stew boiled for the sons of the prophets at Gilgal in the famine, and the meal Elisha throws into the pot

흉년에 길갈에서 선지자의 생도들을 위하여 끓인 국과 엘리사가 솥에 던진 가루

2 Kings 4:38–41: Elisha comes again to Gilgal. There was a famine in the land; and the sons of the prophets were sitting before him; and he says to his servant, “Get the large pot, and boil stew for the sons of the prophets.” One went out into the field to gather herbs, and found a wild vine, and gathered a lap full of wild gourds from it, and came and cut them up into the pot of stew; for they didn’t recognize them. So they pour out for the men to eat. As they were eating some of the stew, they cry out and say, “Man of God, there is death in the pot!” And they could not eat it. But he says, “Then bring meal.” He throws it into the pot; and he says, “Serve it to the people, that they may eat.” The text says, “And there was nothing harmful in the pot.” The Korean Revised Version names Elisha twice more at 4:38 (엘리사의 앞에, 엘리사가) and again at 4:41 (엘리사가), where WEB reads “him” and “he”, and reads 채소, 야등덩굴 and 들 외 at 4:39, where WEB reads “herbs”, “a wild vine” and “wild gourds”.
