Chapter 7: The four lepers and the fleeing of Aram and end of famine
- Elisha prophesizes that the famine will end: When Elisha [heard that the assassin and king had remorse against killing him due to fear of heaven[1]] said, “Listen to what Hashem has related to me in prophecy, So said Hashem, that the famine will end tomorrow: “At this time tomorrow, a seah of fine flour will sell for a shekel and two seahs of barley will sell for a shekel in the gate of Shomron.”
- An officer responds in disbelief: One of the ministers of the king did not believe the wild prophecy of Elisha and exclaimed to Elisha in disbelief, “Will G-d make windows in the sky through which the grain will fall? Is such a thing really possible to happen?” Elisha responded to him that indeed he will witness it with his own eyes however he will not be able to partake in the eating [as G-d will punish him for doubting the prophecy].
