SCRIPTURE

"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." — 2 Kings 4:41 (ASV)

But he said, then bring meal: and he cast it into the pot ,
&c.] 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.
