BrLXXΚαὶ ἐξῆλθεν Ἐλισαιὲ εἰς τὴν διέξοδον τῶν ὑδάτων, καὶ ἔῤῥιψεν ἐκεῖ ἅλα, καὶ εἶπε, τάδε λέγει Κύριος, ἴαμαι τὰ ὕδατα ταῦτα, οὐκ ἔσται ἔτι ἐκεῖθεν θάνατος καὶ ἀτεκνουμένη.

TSNTyndale Study Notes:

2:20-22 Elisha used a new bowl (Deut 21:3) filled with salt (Lev 2:13; Ezek 43:24) to symbolize calling upon God to purify the people and the environment. Elisha made it clear that the Lord, not he or the salt, had purified this water.


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

(Occurrence 0) healed these waters

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_went_out to/towards spring the=waters and,threw there salt and=he/it_said thus he/it_had_said YHWH healed to_the,water the=these not will_belong from=there again/more death and,unfruitfulness )

This speaks of Yahweh making the bad water pure as if he healed it. Alternate translation: “made the waters pure”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / doublenegatives

(Occurrence 0) there will be no more death or unfruitful land

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_went_out to/towards spring the=waters and,threw there salt and=he/it_said thus he/it_had_said YHWH healed to_the,water the=these not will_belong from=there again/more death and,unfruitfulness )

This refers to things caused by the bad water. This also can be written in positive form. Alternate translation: “there will be no more death or problems with crops caused by this water” or “from now on this water will bring life and help the land become fruitful”
