قربان اوائل تقرّبونهما للرب. لكن على المذبح لا يصعدان لرائحة سرور.

A stream has gone bad... the people can't drink the water, and the water is in fact so bad that the land can't produce crops. This isn't the tale of a modern stream that's been polluted by some manufacturing plant, but the tale of a stream in ancient Israel. The towns people came to Elisha, a powerful prophet, to heal the water. And he did. All he needed was a new bowl and a little salt. The miracle is about creating a desire to do good things in life. For a lot of us, that means breaking a destructive cycle. Like the stream that has been polluting for years, maybe you've had some bad beliefs handed down to you from parents and grandparents and now is the time to purify those beliefs because you actually WANT to be a good person.

2 Kings 2:19-25
19
The men of the city said to Elisha, "Behold, please, the situation of this city is pleasant, as my lord sees; but the water is bad, and the land miscarries."
20
He said, "Bring me a new jar, and put salt in it." They brought it to him.
21
He went out to the spring of the waters, and threw salt into it, and said, "Thus says Yahweh, 'I have healed these waters. There shall not be from there any more death or miscarrying.'"
22
So the waters were healed to this day, according to the word of Elisha which he spoke.
23
He went up from there to Bethel. As he was going up by the way, some youths came out of the city and mocked him, and said to him, "Go up, you baldy! Go up, you baldhead!"
24
He looked behind him and saw them, and cursed them in the name of Yahweh. Two female bears came out of the woods, and mauled forty-Two of those youths.
25
He went from there to Mount Carmel, and from there he returned to Samaria.
