Elizej pomaže udovici

Udovica jednog čovjeka iz družine proroka zavapila je Elizeju: »Tvoj sluga, moj muž, umro je. Znaš da je poštovao BOGA. No sad je došao čovjek kojem je ostao dužan, koji želi naplatiti dug tako što će uzeti mojih dvojicu sinova da mu budu robovi.«

Elizej joj odgovori: »Kako da ti pomognem? Reci mi, što imaš u kući?«

»Tvoja sluškinja nema ničega u kući«, odgovori ona, »osim jednog vrča maslinovog ulja.«

Tada je Elizej rekao: »Idi i traži od svih susjeda prazne vrčeve. Neka ih bude što više! Zatim se zatvori u kuću sa svojim sinovima i nalijevaj ulje u sve vrčeve. Kako se koji napuni, stavi ga na stranu.«

Tako ona ode od Elizeja i zatvori se u kuću sa svojim sinovima. Oni su joj donosili vrčeve, a ona ih je punila. Kad su svi vrčevi bili puni, rekla je jednom od sinova: »Donesi mi još jedan vrč.«

No on joj odgovori: »Nema više ni jednog praznog vrča.«

I tada je ulje prestalo teći.

Ona ode i sve to ispriča Božjem čovjeku, a on joj je rekao: »Idi, prodaj ulje i plati svoje dugove. Od onoga što preostane, moći ćete živjeti i ti i tvoji sinovi.«

Elizej i Šunamka

Jednog je dana Elizej otišao u Šunam. Ondje je živjela jedna imućna žena koja ga je pozvala kod sebe na obrok. I od tada, kad god je onuda prolazio, Elizej je odlazio jesti kod nje.

Ta je žena rekla svome mužu: »Sigurna sam da je ovaj čovjek, koji često prolazi ovim putem, Božji sveti čovjek. 10 Hajde da napravimo za njega malu sobu na krovu! Stavit ćemo u nju krevet, stol, stolicu i svjetiljku pa neka tu odsjeda kad god bude u prolazu.«

11 Jednog je dana Elizej došao onamo, smjestio se u sobu i odmarao. 12 Rekao je svom slugi Gehaziju: »Pozovi Šunamku!«

On je pozove i ona stane pred Elizeja. 13 A on je rekao svom slugi: »Reci joj: ‘Kad si se tako dobro pobrinula za nas, što možemo učiniti za tebe? Želiš li da se zauzmemo za tebe kod kralja ili zapovjednika vojske?’«

Žena je odgovorila: »Sasvim mi je dobro ovdje, među svojim narodom.«

14 Elizej upita Gehazija: »Što bismo ipak mogli učiniti za nju?«

A Gehazi mu odgovori: »Znam da ona nema sina, a muž joj je već star.«

15 Tada će Elizej: »Pozovi je!«

Gehazi pozva ženu natrag, a ona stane na ulazu u prostoriju.

16 »Dogodine u ovo vrijeme«, rekao joj je Elizej, »u naručju ćeš držati sina.«

»Ne, gospodaru«, odgovori ona. »Božji čovječe, ne zavaravaj me!«

17 No žena je zatrudnjela i rodila sina u isto vrijeme sljedeće godine, kao što joj je Elizej bio prorekao.

Elizej vraća u život Šunamkinog sina

18 Dječak je porastao. Jednog je dana otišao k svom ocu, koji je bio sa žeteocima.

19 Zavapio je ocu: »Jao, moja glava! Moja glava!«

A otac je rekao jednom slugi: »Odnesi ga k njegovoj majci.«

20 Sluga ga je odnio majci. Dječak je do podneva sjedio u majčinom krilu, a onda je umro. 21 Ona se popela i položila tijelo djeteta u krevet Božjeg čovjeka pa zatvorila vrata i izašla.

22 Zatim je pozvala muža i rekla: »Pošalji mi jednog slugu i magarca. Brzo ću otići kod Božjeg čovjeka i vratiti se.«

23 »Zašto danas ideš k njemu?« upitao je muž. »Nije mladi mjesec, a ni dan odmora.«

»Ne brini se. Sve je u redu.«[a] odgovorila je ona. 24 Žena je osedlala magarca i rekla slugi: »Potjeraj magarca i ne usporavaj zbog mene, osim ako ti ne kažem.«

25 Tako je stigla k Božjem čovjeku, na brdo Karmel.

Kad ju je Božji čovjek vidio da dolazi, rekao je svom slugi Gehaziju: »Gledaj! Evo Šunamke! 26 Potrči joj ususret i pitaj jesu li dobro ona, njezin muž i dijete.«

Ona je odgovorila: »Svi smo dobro.«

27 Kad je stigla do Božjeg čovjeka na vrhu brda, pala je pred njega i obgrlila mu noge.

Gehazi je prišao da je odgurne, ali Božji je čovjek rekao: »Pusti je! Teško je potresena, a BOG je sakrio od mene što se dogodilo.«

28 »Gospodaru, jesam li tražila sina od tebe?« upitala je žena. »Zar ti nisam rekla da me ne zavaravaš?«

29 Elizej je rekao Gehaziju: »Spremi se, uzmi moj štap u ruku i žurno kreni u Šunam. Ako nekog sretneš, ne pozdravljaj, a ako netko pozdravi tebe, ne odzdravljaj. Položi moj štap preko dječakova lica.«

30 No dječakova je majka rekla: »Zaklinjem se i BOGU i tebi, bez tebe neću otići odavde.«

I tako je Elizej ustao i krenuo za njom, 31 a Gehazi je stigao prije njega i položio štap preko dječakovog lica. No dječak nije davao znakove života.

Gehazi se vratio k Elizeju i rekao mu: »Dječak se nije probudio.«

32 Kad je Elizej stigao u kuću, našao je dječaka kako leži mrtav na njegovom krevetu. 33 Ušao je u sobu i zatvorio vrata za sobom te se pomolio BOGU. 34 Popeo se na krevet i legao na dječaka—usta na usta, oči na oči, ruke na ruke. Kad se ispružio nad njim, dječakovo tijelo se zagrijalo. 35 Elizej je tada ustao i ushodao se po sobi. Potom se ponovo ispružio nad dječakom, a dječak je kihnuo sedam puta i otvorio oči.

36 Elizej je pozvao Gehazija i rekao mu: »Pozovi Šunamku!«

I sluga ju je pozvao.

Kad je žena došla, Elizej joj je rekao: »Uzmi svog sina.«

37 A ona uđe, padne mu pred noge i pokloni se do zemlje. Zatim uzme sina i izađe.

Elizej pretvara otrovno jelo u jestivo

38 Elizej se ponovo vratio u Gilgal, a u zemlji je vladala glad.

Dok je družina proroka sjedila pred njim, rekao je svom slugi: »Stavi veliki lonac na vatru i pripremi juhu za proroke.«

39 Jedan je od njih otišao u polje sakupljati jestivo bilje. Našao je divlju puzavicu i nabrao njezinih plodova u svoj ogrtač. Nakon što se vratio, narezao ih je u lonac s juhom, ne znajući da su otrovni.

40 Kad su ljudima sipali juhu za jelo, oni su povikali: »Božji čovječe, umrijet ćemo ako ovo pojedemo!« I nisu htjeli jesti.

41 Elizej je rekao: »Donesite nešto brašna.«

Zatim je nasipao brašno u lonac i rekao: »Daj sada ljudima da jedu!«

I juha više nije bila otrovna.

Elizej hrani stotinu ljudi

42 Jedan je čovjek došao iz Baal Šališe i donio Božjem čovjeku prvine svoje žetve—dvadeset komada ječmenoga kruha i svježeg zrnja u vreći.

»Daj ljudima da jedu«, rekao je Elizej svom slugi.

43 No sluga je pitao: »Kako da ovo malo hrane stavim pred stotinu ljudi?« Elizej je ponovio: »Daj ljudima da jedu! Jer, ovako govori BOG: ‘Jest će i još će im preostati.’«

44 Sluga je stavio hranu pred ljude. Jeli su i još im je preostalo, baš kao što je rekao BOG.

  1. 4,23 Ne brini se. Sve je u redu. Doslovno na hebrejskom »šalom«, što je pozdrav koji znači »mir«.

Now there cried a certain woman of the wives of the sons of the prophets unto Elisha, saying, Thy servant my husband is dead; and thou knowest that thy servant did fear the Lord: and the creditor is come to take unto him my two sons to be bondmen.

And Elisha said unto her, What shall I do for thee? tell me, what hast thou in the house? And she said, Thine handmaid hath not any thing in the house, save a pot of oil.

Then he said, Go, borrow thee vessels abroad of all thy neighbours, even empty vessels; borrow not a few.

And when thou art come in, thou shalt shut the door upon thee and upon thy sons, and shalt pour out into all those vessels, and thou shalt set aside that which is full.

So she went from him, and shut the door upon her and upon her sons, who brought the vessels to her; and she poured out.

And it came to pass, when the vessels were full, that she said unto her son, Bring me yet a vessel. And he said unto her, There is not a vessel more. And the oil stayed.

Then she came and told the man of God. And he said, Go, sell the oil, and pay thy debt, and live thou and thy children of the rest.

And it fell on a day, that Elisha passed to Shunem, where was a great woman; and she constrained him to eat bread. And so it was, that as oft as he passed by, he turned in thither to eat bread.

And she said unto her husband, Behold now, I perceive that this is an holy man of God, which passeth by us continually.

10 Let us make a little chamber, I pray thee, on the wall; and let us set for him there a bed, and a table, and a stool, and a candlestick: and it shall be, when he cometh to us, that he shall turn in thither.

11 And it fell on a day, that he came thither, and he turned into the chamber, and lay there.

12 And he said to Gehazi his servant, Call this Shunammite. And when he had called her, she stood before him.

13 And he said unto him, Say now unto her, Behold, thou hast been careful for us with all this care; what is to be done for thee? wouldest thou be spoken for to the king, or to the captain of the host? And she answered, I dwell among mine own people.

14 And he said, What then is to be done for her? And Gehazi answered, Verily she hath no child, and her husband is old.

15 And he said, Call her. And when he had called her, she stood in the door.

16 And he said, About this season, according to the time of life, thou shalt embrace a son. And she said, Nay, my lord, thou man of God, do not lie unto thine handmaid.

17 And the woman conceived, and bare a son at that season that Elisha had said unto her, according to the time of life.

18 And when the child was grown, it fell on a day, that he went out to his father to the reapers.

19 And he said unto his father, My head, my head. And he said to a lad, Carry him to his mother.

20 And when he had taken him, and brought him to his mother, he sat on her knees till noon, and then died.

21 And she went up, and laid him on the bed of the man of God, and shut the door upon him, and went out.

22 And she called unto her husband, and said, Send me, I pray thee, one of the young men, and one of the asses, that I may run to the man of God, and come again.

23 And he said, Wherefore wilt thou go to him to day? it is neither new moon, nor sabbath. And she said, It shall be well.

24 Then she saddled an ass, and said to her servant, Drive, and go forward; slack not thy riding for me, except I bid thee.

25 So she went and came unto the man of God to mount Carmel. And it came to pass, when the man of God saw her afar off, that he said to Gehazi his servant, Behold, yonder is that Shunammite:

26 Run now, I pray thee, to meet her, and say unto her, Is it well with thee? is it well with thy husband? is it well with the child? And she answered, It is well:

27 And when she came to the man of God to the hill, she caught him by the feet: but Gehazi came near to thrust her away. And the man of God said, Let her alone; for her soul is vexed within her: and the Lord hath hid it from me, and hath not told me.

28 Then she said, Did I desire a son of my lord? did I not say, Do not deceive me?

29 Then he said to Gehazi, Gird up thy loins, and take my staff in thine hand, and go thy way: if thou meet any man, salute him not; and if any salute thee, answer him not again: and lay my staff upon the face of the child.

30 And the mother of the child said, As the Lord liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. And he arose, and followed her.

31 And Gehazi passed on before them, and laid the staff upon the face of the child; but there was neither voice, nor hearing. Wherefore he went again to meet him, and told him, saying, The child is not awaked.

32 And when Elisha was come into the house, behold, the child was dead, and laid upon his bed.

33 He went in therefore, and shut the door upon them twain, and prayed unto the Lord.

34 And he went up, and lay upon the child, and put his mouth upon his mouth, and his eyes upon his eyes, and his hands upon his hands: and stretched himself upon the child; and the flesh of the child waxed warm.

35 Then he returned, and walked in the house to and fro; and went up, and stretched himself upon him: and the child sneezed seven times, and the child opened his eyes.

36 And he called Gehazi, and said, Call this Shunammite. So he called her. And when she was come in unto him, he said, Take up thy son.

37 Then she went in, and fell at his feet, and bowed herself to the ground, and took up her son, and went out.

38 And Elisha came again to Gilgal: and there was a dearth in the land; and the sons of the prophets were sitting before him: and he said unto his servant, Set on the great pot, and seethe pottage for the sons of the prophets.

39 And one went out into the field to gather herbs, and found a wild vine, and gathered thereof wild gourds his lap full, and came and shred them into the pot of pottage: for they knew them not.

40 So they poured out for the men to eat. And it came to pass, as they were eating of the pottage, that they cried out, and said, O thou man of God, there is death in the pot. And they could not eat thereof.

41 But he said, Then bring meal. And he cast it into the pot; and he said, Pour out for the people, that they may eat. And there was no harm in the pot.

42 And there came a man from Baalshalisha, and brought the man of God bread of the firstfruits, twenty loaves of barley, and full ears of corn in the husk thereof. And he said, Give unto the people, that they may eat.

43 And his servitor said, What, should I set this before an hundred men? He said again, Give the people, that they may eat: for thus saith the Lord, They shall eat, and shall leave thereof.

44 So he set it before them, and they did eat, and left thereof, according to the word of the Lord.

Elisha and the Widow's Oil

Now the wife of one of the (A)sons of the prophets cried to Elisha, “Your servant my husband is dead, and you know that your servant feared the Lord, (B)but the creditor has come to take my two children to be his slaves.” And Elisha said to her, “What shall I do for you? Tell me; what have you in the house?” And she said, “Your servant has nothing in the house except a jar of oil.” Then he said, “Go outside, borrow vessels from all your neighbors, empty vessels and not too few. Then go in and shut the door behind yourself and your sons and pour into all these vessels. And when one is full, set it aside.” So she went from him and shut the door behind herself and her sons. And as she poured they brought the vessels to her. When the vessels were full, she said to her son, “Bring me another vessel.” And he said to her, “There is not another.” Then the oil stopped flowing. She came and told the (C)man of God, and he said, “Go, sell the oil and pay your debts, and you and your sons can live on the rest.”

Elisha and the Shunammite Woman

One day Elisha went on to (D)Shunem, where a (E)wealthy woman lived, who urged him to eat some food. So whenever he passed that way, he would turn in there to eat food. And she said to her husband, “Behold now, I know that this is a holy (F)man of God who is continually passing our way. 10 Let us make a small room on the roof with walls and put there for him a bed, a table, a chair, and a lamp, so that whenever he comes to us, he can go in there.”

11 One day he came there, and he turned into the chamber and rested there. 12 And he said to (G)Gehazi his servant, “Call this Shunammite.” When he had called her, she stood before him. 13 And he said to him, “Say now to her, ‘See, you have taken all this trouble for us; what is to be done for you? Would you have a word spoken on your behalf to the king or to (H)the commander of the army?’” She answered, “I dwell among my own people.” 14 And he said, “What then is to be done for her?” Gehazi answered, “Well, she has no son, and her husband is old.” 15 He said, “Call her.” And when he had called her, she stood in the doorway. 16 And he said, “At this season, (I)about this time next year, you shall embrace a son.” And she said, “No, my lord, (J)O man of God; (K)do not lie to your servant.” 17 But the woman conceived, and she bore a son about that time (L)the following spring, as Elisha had said to her.

Elisha Raises the Shunammite's Son

18 When the child had grown, he went out one day to his father among the reapers. 19 And he said to his father, “Oh, (M)my head, my head!” The father said to his servant, “Carry him to his mother.” 20 And when he had lifted him and brought him to his mother, the child sat on her lap till noon, and then he died. 21 And she went up (N)and laid him on the bed of the (O)man of God and shut the door behind him and went out. 22 Then she called to her husband and said, “Send me one of the servants and one of the donkeys, that I may quickly go to (P)the man of God and come back again.” 23 And he said, “Why will you go to him today? It is neither (Q)new moon nor Sabbath.” She said, “All is well.” 24 Then she saddled the donkey, and she said to her servant, “Urge the animal on; do not slacken the pace for me unless I tell you.” 25 So she set out and came to the man of God (R)at Mount Carmel.

When the man of God saw her coming, he said to Gehazi his servant, “Look, there is the Shunammite. 26 Run at once to meet her and say to her, ‘Is all well with you? Is all well with your husband? Is all well with the child?’” And she answered, “All is well.” 27 And when she came (S)to the mountain to the man of God, she caught hold of his feet. And Gehazi came to push her away. But the man of God said, “Leave her alone, for she is in bitter distress, and the Lord has hidden it from me and has not told me.” 28 Then she said, “Did I ask my lord for a son? (T)Did I not say, ‘Do not deceive me?’” 29 He said to Gehazi, (U)“Tie up your garment and (V)take my staff in your hand and go. If you meet anyone, (W)do not greet him, and if anyone greets you, do not reply. And (X)lay my staff on the face of the child.” 30 Then the mother of the child said, (Y)“As the Lord lives and as you yourself live, I will not leave you.” So he arose and followed her. 31 Gehazi went on ahead and laid the staff on the face of the child, but there was no sound or sign of life. Therefore he returned to meet him and told him, “The child (Z)has not awakened.”

32 When Elisha came into the house, he saw the child lying dead on his bed. 33 So he went in and (AA)shut the door behind the two of them (AB)and prayed to the Lord. 34 Then he went up and lay on the child, putting his mouth on his mouth, his eyes on his eyes, and his hands on his hands. And as (AC)he stretched himself upon him, the flesh of the child became warm. 35 Then he got up again and walked once back and forth in the house, and went up (AD)and stretched himself upon him. The child sneezed seven times, and the child opened his eyes. 36 Then he summoned Gehazi and said, “Call this Shunammite.” So he called her. And when she came to him, he said, “Pick up your son.” 37 She came and fell at his feet, bowing to the ground. (AE)Then she picked up her son and went out.

Elisha Purifies the Deadly Stew

38 And Elisha came again to (AF)Gilgal when (AG)there was a famine in the land. And as (AH)the sons of the prophets (AI)were sitting before him, he said to his servant, (AJ)“Set on the large pot, and boil stew for the sons of the prophets.” 39 One of them went out into the field to gather herbs, and found a wild vine and gathered from it his lap full of wild gourds, and came and cut them up into the pot of stew, not knowing what they were. 40 And they poured out some for the men to eat. But while they were eating of the stew, they cried out, “O man of God, there is death in the pot!” And they could not eat it. 41 He said, “Then bring flour.” (AK)And he threw it into the pot and said, “Pour some out for the men, that they may eat.” And there was no harm in the pot.

42 A man came from (AL)Baal-shalishah, (AM)bringing the man of God bread of the firstfruits, twenty loaves of barley and fresh ears of grain in his sack. And Elisha said, (AN)“Give to the men, that they may eat.” 43 But his servant said, “How can I set this before a hundred men?” So he repeated, “Give them to the men, that they may eat, for thus says the Lord, ‘They shall eat and have some left.’” 44 So he set it before them. And they ate and had some left, according to the word of the Lord.

The Widow’s Olive Oil

The wife of a man from the company(A) of the prophets cried out to Elisha, “Your servant my husband is dead, and you know that he revered the Lord. But now his creditor(B) is coming to take my two boys as his slaves.”

Elisha replied to her, “How can I help you? Tell me, what do you have in your house?”

“Your servant has nothing there at all,” she said, “except a small jar of olive oil.”(C)

Elisha said, “Go around and ask all your neighbors for empty jars. Don’t ask for just a few. Then go inside and shut the door behind you and your sons. Pour oil into all the jars, and as each is filled, put it to one side.”

She left him and shut the door behind her and her sons. They brought the jars to her and she kept pouring. When all the jars were full, she said to her son, “Bring me another one.”

But he replied, “There is not a jar left.” Then the oil stopped flowing.

She went and told the man of God,(D) and he said, “Go, sell the oil and pay your debts. You and your sons can live on what is left.”

The Shunammite’s Son Restored to Life

One day Elisha went to Shunem.(E) And a well-to-do woman was there, who urged him to stay for a meal. So whenever he came by, he stopped there to eat. She said to her husband, “I know that this man who often comes our way is a holy man of God. 10 Let’s make a small room on the roof and put in it a bed and a table, a chair and a lamp for him. Then he can stay(F) there whenever he comes to us.”

11 One day when Elisha came, he went up to his room and lay down there. 12 He said to his servant Gehazi, “Call the Shunammite.”(G) So he called her, and she stood before him. 13 Elisha said to him, “Tell her, ‘You have gone to all this trouble for us. Now what can be done for you? Can we speak on your behalf to the king or the commander of the army?’”

She replied, “I have a home among my own people.”

14 “What can be done for her?” Elisha asked.

Gehazi said, “She has no son, and her husband is old.”

15 Then Elisha said, “Call her.” So he called her, and she stood in the doorway. 16 “About this time(H) next year,” Elisha said, “you will hold a son in your arms.”

“No, my lord!” she objected. “Please, man of God, don’t mislead your servant!”

17 But the woman became pregnant, and the next year about that same time she gave birth to a son, just as Elisha had told her.

18 The child grew, and one day he went out to his father, who was with the reapers.(I) 19 He said to his father, “My head! My head!”

His father told a servant, “Carry him to his mother.” 20 After the servant had lifted him up and carried him to his mother, the boy sat on her lap until noon, and then he died. 21 She went up and laid him on the bed(J) of the man of God, then shut the door and went out.

22 She called her husband and said, “Please send me one of the servants and a donkey so I can go to the man of God quickly and return.”

23 “Why go to him today?” he asked. “It’s not the New Moon(K) or the Sabbath.”

“That’s all right,” she said.

24 She saddled the donkey and said to her servant, “Lead on; don’t slow down for me unless I tell you.” 25 So she set out and came to the man of God at Mount Carmel.(L)

When he saw her in the distance, the man of God said to his servant Gehazi, “Look! There’s the Shunammite! 26 Run to meet her and ask her, ‘Are you all right? Is your husband all right? Is your child all right?’”

“Everything is all right,” she said.

27 When she reached the man of God at the mountain, she took hold of his feet. Gehazi came over to push her away, but the man of God said, “Leave her alone! She is in bitter distress,(M) but the Lord has hidden it from me and has not told me why.”

28 “Did I ask you for a son, my lord?” she said. “Didn’t I tell you, ‘Don’t raise my hopes’?”

29 Elisha said to Gehazi, “Tuck your cloak into your belt,(N) take my staff(O) in your hand and run. Don’t greet anyone you meet, and if anyone greets you, do not answer. Lay my staff on the boy’s face.”

30 But the child’s mother said, “As surely as the Lord lives and as you live, I will not leave you.” So he got up and followed her.

31 Gehazi went on ahead and laid the staff on the boy’s face, but there was no sound or response. So Gehazi went back to meet Elisha and told him, “The boy has not awakened.”

32 When Elisha reached the house, there was the boy lying dead on his couch.(P) 33 He went in, shut the door on the two of them and prayed(Q) to the Lord. 34 Then he got on the bed and lay on the boy, mouth to mouth, eyes to eyes, hands to hands. As he stretched(R) himself out on him, the boy’s body grew warm. 35 Elisha turned away and walked back and forth in the room and then got on the bed and stretched out on him once more. The boy sneezed seven times(S) and opened his eyes.(T)

36 Elisha summoned Gehazi and said, “Call the Shunammite.” And he did. When she came, he said, “Take your son.”(U) 37 She came in, fell at his feet and bowed to the ground. Then she took her son and went out.

Death in the Pot

38 Elisha returned to Gilgal(V) and there was a famine(W) in that region. While the company of the prophets was meeting with him, he said to his servant, “Put on the large pot and cook some stew for these prophets.”

39 One of them went out into the fields to gather herbs and found a wild vine and picked as many of its gourds as his garment could hold. When he returned, he cut them up into the pot of stew, though no one knew what they were. 40 The stew was poured out for the men, but as they began to eat it, they cried out, “Man of God, there is death in the pot!” And they could not eat it.

41 Elisha said, “Get some flour.” He put it into the pot and said, “Serve it to the people to eat.” And there was nothing harmful in the pot.(X)

Feeding of a Hundred

42 A man came from Baal Shalishah,(Y) bringing the man of God twenty loaves(Z) of barley bread(AA) baked from the first ripe grain, along with some heads of new grain. “Give it to the people to eat,” Elisha said.

43 “How can I set this before a hundred men?” his servant asked.

But Elisha answered, “Give it to the people to eat.(AB) For this is what the Lord says: ‘They will eat and have some left over.(AC)’” 44 Then he set it before them, and they ate and had some left over, according to the word of the Lord.
