The floating axe head

6:1 The floating axe head

6One day, the prophets-in-training said to Elisha, “Please look, The place where we’re sitting to learn from you is too narrow to fit us all in. 2Please, let us go down by the Yordan river, and let each of us cut down and bring back a log from there to make a new classroom for us to sit in.”

“Go ahead,” he answered.

3One of them insisted, “Please, say that you’ll come with your servants.”

Okay then, I’ll come,” he said. 4So he went with them to the Yordan valley to cut down some trees, 5but while one of them was chopping down a tree, suddenly the axe head separated from the handle and went flying into the water. The man called out to Elisha, “Oh, Master, what should I do? It’s not my axe—I borrowed it!”

6“Where did it fall in?” the man of God asked. After the man had shown him the place, Elisha cut off a stick and threw it there, and the iron axe head rose to the surface. 7Now get it out,” he said, and the man stretched out and grabbed it.
