Elisha Makes a Meal Edible

4:38 Now Elisha went back to Gilgal, while there was famine in the land. Some of the prophets were visiting him56 and he told his servant, “Put the big pot on the fire57 and boil some stew for the prophets.”58 4:39 Someone went out to the field to gather some herbs and found a wild vine.59 He picked some of its fruit,60 enough to fill up the fold of his robe. He came back, cut it up, and threw the slices61 into the stew pot, not knowing they were harmful.62 4:40 The stew was poured out63 for the men to eat. When they ate some of the stew, they cried out, “Death is in the pot, O prophet!” They could not eat it. 4:41 He said, “Get some flour.” Then he threw it into the pot and said, “Now pour some out for the men so they may eat.”64 There was no longer anything harmful in the pot.
