And Elisha went back to Gilgal, now there was very little food in the land; and the sons of the prophets were seated before him. And he said to his servant, Put the great pot on the fire, and make soup for the sons of the prophets.

וַיֹּ֣אמֶר (יֹּ֣אמֶר) i.Yo.mer “he said”

Then they gave the men soup from the pot. And while they were drinking the soup, they gave a cry, and said, O man of God, there is death in the pot; and they were not able to take any more food.

וַיֹּֽאמְרוּ֙ (יֹּֽאמְרוּ֙) i.yo.me.Ru “they said”

But he said, Get some meal. And he put it into the pot, and said, Now give it to the people so that they may have food. And there was nothing bad in the pot.

Now a man came from Baal-shalishah with an offering of first-fruits for the man of God, twenty barley cakes and garden fruit in his bag. And he said, Give these to the people for food.

וַיֹּ֕אמֶר (יֹּ֕אמֶר) i.Yo.mer “he said”

But his servant said, How am I to put this before a hundred men? But he said, Give it to the people for food; for the Lord says, There will be food for them and some over.

And he took the letter to the king of Israel, in which the king of Aram had said, See, I have sent my servant Naaman to you to be made well, for he is a leper.

לֵאמֹ֑ר (אמֹ֑ר) Mor “saying”

But the king of Israel, after reading the letter, was greatly troubled and said, Am I God, to give death and life? why does this man send a leper to me to be made well? is it not clear that he is looking for a cause of war?

וַיֹּ֙אמֶר֙ (יֹּ֙אמֶר֙) i.Yo.mer “he said”

Now Elisha, the man of God, hearing that the king of Israel had done this, sent to the king, saying, Why are you troubled? send the man to me, so that he may see that there is a prophet in Israel.

Then his servants came to him and said, If the prophet had given you orders to do some great thing, would you not have done it? how much more then, when he says to you, Be washed and become clean?

Then he went back to the man of God, with all his train, and, taking his place before him, said, Now I am certain that there is no God in all the earth, but only in Israel: now then, take an offering from me.

וַיֹּ֗אמֶר (יֹּ֗אמֶר) i.Yo.mer “he said”

But he said, By the life of the Lord whose servant I am, I will take nothing from you. And he did his best to make him take it but he would not.

וַיֹּ֕אמֶר (יֹּ֕אמֶר) i.Yo.mer “he said”

Then Naaman said, If you will not, then let there be given to your servant as much earth as two beasts are able to take on their backs; because from now on, your servant will make no offering or burned offering to other gods, but only to the Lord.

וַיֹּאמֶר֮ (יֹּאמֶר֮) i.yo.Mer “he said”

So Gehazi went after Naaman. And when Naaman saw him running after him, he got down from his carriage and went back to him and said, Is all well?

וַיֹּ֥אמֶר (יֹּ֥אמֶר) i.Yo.mer “he said”

And he said, All is well: but my master has sent me, saying, Even now, two young men of the sons of the prophets have come to me from the hill-country of Ephraim; will you give me a talent of silver and two changes of clothing for them?

וַיֹּ֣אמֶר׀ (יֹּ֣אמֶר) i.Yo.mer “he said”לֵאמֹר֒ (אמֹר֒) Mor “saying”

And Naaman said, Be good enough to take two talents. And forcing him to take them, he put two talents of silver in two bags, with two changes of clothing, and gave them to his two servants to take before him.

וַיֹּ֣אמֶר (יֹּ֣אמֶר) i.Yo.mer “he said”

Then he came in and took his place before his master. And Elisha said to him, Where have you come from, Gehazi? And he said, Your servant went nowhere.

And he said to him, Did not my heart go with you, when the man got down from his carriage and went back to you? Is this a time for getting money, and clothing, and olive-gardens and vine-gardens, and sheep and oxen, and men-servants and women-servants?

וַיֹּ֤אמֶר (יֹּ֤אמֶר) i.Yo.mer “he said”
