Elisha makes the ax head that fell into the water at the Jordan float

엘리사가 요단에서 물에 빠진 도끼를 떠오르게 함

2 Kings 6:1–7: the sons of the prophets say to Elisha, “See now, the place where we live and meet with you is too small for us. Please let us go to the Jordan, and each man take a beam from there, and let’s make us a place there, where we may live.” He answers, “Go!” One says, “Please be pleased to go with your servants.” He answers, “I will go.” So he goes with them. When they come to the Jordan, they cut down wood. But as one was cutting down a tree, the ax head fell into the water. Then he cries out and says, “Alas, my master! For it was borrowed.” The man of God asks, “Where did it fall?” He shows him the place. He cuts down a stick, throws it in there, and makes the iron float. He says, “Take it.” So he puts out his hand and takes it. The Korean Revised Version names Elisha at 6:2 and 6:3 (엘리사가 가로되) and at 6:6 (엘리사가 나무가지를 베어), where WEB says “He”; it names no one at 6:4 (드디어 저희와 함께 가니라, went with them at last); and at 6:6 it reads 도끼로 떠오르게 하고, made the ax float, where WEB reads “made the iron float”.
