6 And the man H376 of God H430 said, H559 Where H575 fell H5307 it? And he shewed H7200 him the place. H4725 And he cut down H7094 a stick, H6086 and cast H7993 it in thither; and the iron H1270 did swim. H6687
And he went forth H3318 unto the spring H4161 of the waters, H4325 and cast H7993 the salt H4417 in there, and said, H559 Thus saith H559 the LORD, H3068 I have healed H7495 these waters; H4325 there shall not be from thence any more death H4194 or barren H7921 land.
And he cried H6817 unto the LORD; H3068 and the LORD H3068 shewed H3384 him a tree, H6086 which when he had cast H7993 into the waters, H4325 the waters H4325 were made sweet: H4985 there he made H7760 for them a statute H2706 and an ordinance, H4941 and there he proved H5254 them,
And G2532 he took G618 him G846 aside G2596 G2398 from G575 the multitude, G3793 and put G906 his G846 fingers G1147 into G1519 his G846 ears, G3775 and G2532 he spit, G4429 and touched G680 his G846 tongue; G1100 And G2532 looking up G308 to G1519 heaven, G3772 he sighed, G4727 and G2532 saith G3004 unto him, G846 Ephphatha, G2188 that is, G3603 Be opened. G1272
And G2532 he took G1949 the blind man G5185 by the hand, G5495 and led G1806 him G846 out of G1854 the town; G2968 and G2532 when he had spit G4429 on G1519 his G846 eyes, G3659 and put G2007 his hands G5495 upon him, G846 he asked G1905 him G846 if G1536 he saw G991 ought. G1536 And G2532 he looked up, G308 and said, G3004 G3754 I see G991 men G444 as G5613 G3708 trees, G1186 walking. G4043 After G1534 that he put G2007 his hands G5495 again G3825 upon G1909 his G846 eyes, G3788 and G2532 made G4160 him G846 look up: G308 and G2532 he was restored, G600 and G2532 saw G1689 every man G537 clearly. G5081
When he had thus G5023 spoken, G2036 he spat G4429 on the ground, G5476 and G2532 made G4160 clay G4081 of G1537 the spittle, G4427 and G2532 he anointed G2025 G1909 the eyes G3788 of the blind man G5185 with the clay, G4081 And G2532 said G2036 unto him, G846 Go, G5217 wash G3538 in G1519 the pool G2861 of Siloam, G4611 (which G3739 is by interpretation, G2059 Sent.) G649 He went his way G565 therefore, G3767 and G2532 washed, G3538 and G2532 came G2064 seeing. G991

Commentary on 2 Kings 6 Matthew Henry Commentary
Chapter 6
In this chapter we have,
The relief of it is another of the wonders wrought by Elisha's word, which we shall have the story of in the next chapter. Elisha is still a great blessing both to church and state, both to the sons of the prophets and to his prince.
2Ki 6:1-7
Several things may be observed here,
2Ki 6:8-12
Here we have Elisha, with his spirit of prophecy, serving the king, as before helping the sons of the prophets; for that, as other gifts, is given to every man to profit withal; and, whatever abilities any man has of doing good, he is by them made a debtor both to the wise and unwise. Observe here,
2Ki 6:13-23
Here is,
2Ki 6:24-33
This last paragraph of this chapter should, of right, have been the first of the next chapter, for it begins a new story, which is there continued and concluded. Here is,
