SEV Biblia, Chapter 4:41
El entonces dijo: Traed harina. Y la esparció en la olla, y dijo: Da de comer al pueblo. Y no hubo más mal en la olla.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - 2 Kings 4:41
Verse 41. Bring meal.] Though this might, in some measure, correct the strong acrid and purgative quality; yet it was only a miracle which could make a lapful of this fruit shred into pottage salutary.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 41. But he said, then bring meal: and he cast it into the pot , etc.] And stirred it about in it: and he said, pour out for the people, that they may eat ; as they now might freely, and without any danger, as he intimated: and there was no harm in the pot ; or anything that could do any harm or mischief to the health of men: this was not owing to the natural virtue of meal, but to a miraculous power attending it, whereby the pottage was cured of its malignity, as the bad waters of Jericho were by salt, in a preceding miracle.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 38-44 - There was a famine of bread, but not of hearing the word of God, for Elisha had the sons of the prophets sitting before him, to hear his wisdom. Elisha made hurtful food to become safe and wholesome. If mess of pottage be all our dinner, remember that this great prophet ha no better for himself and his guests. The table often becomes a snare and that which should be for our welfare, proves a trap: this is a goo reason why we should not feed ourselves without fear. When we ar receiving the supports and comforts of life, we must keep up a expectation of death, and a fear of sin. We must acknowledge God' goodness in making our food wholesome and nourishing; I am the Lor that healeth thee. Elisha also made a little food go a great way Having freely received, he freely gave. God has promised his church that he will abundantly bless her provision, and satisfy her poor with bread, Ps 132:15; whom he feeds, he fills; and what he blesses, come to much. Christ's feeding his hearers was a miracle far beyond this but both teach us that those who wait upon God in the way of duty, ma hope to be supplied by Divine Providence __________________________________________________________________
