Elisha the prophet: he was from Abelmouth, of the land of Roubim.
2And a portent occurred at his birth: when he was born in Galgala, the golden heifer in Shiloh bellowed sharply, so that it was heard in Jerusalem.
3And the priest said, by means of the Urim, that a prophet had been born that day, who would overthrow the graven images and shatter the molten ones.
4And God wrought many wonders by the hand of Elisha; and having died he was buried in Samaria, in Sebastopolis.
5He prophesied concerning the coming of the Lord.
6And the waters of Jericho, which were barren, that is, brackish, he healed, saying: "Thus says the Lord: I heal these waters."
7And they were healed unto this very day.
8And he raised the dead, and cleansed Naaman the Syrian of his leprosy, and made Gehazi his servant become a leper.
9And being dead himself, he raised a dead man.
