וְאִ֨ישׁ בָּ֜א מִבַּ֣עַל שָׁלִ֗שָׁה וַיָּבֵא֩ לְאִ֨ישׁ הָאֱלֹהִ֜ים לֶ֤חֶם בִּכּוּרִים֙ עֶשְׂרִֽים־לֶ֣חֶם שְׂעֹרִ֔ים וְכַרְמֶ֖ל בְּצִקְלֹנ֑וֹ וַיֹּ֕אמֶר תֵּ֥ן לָעָ֖ם וְיֹאכֵֽלוּ׃
Ein Mann kam in jenen Tagen von Baal-Salisa und brachte dem Gottesmann [als Geschenk] Brot von Erstlingsfrucht, zwanzig Gerstenbrote und frische Ähren in seiner Tasche. [Der Prophet] befahl: Gib es den Männern, dass sie essen.
Jerusalem Talmud Sanhedrin
208This paragraph has been shortened and become incomprehensible. Cf. Nedarim6:13, Notes 86–88. Both Talmudim always assume that a prophet by his office must have been a member of the High Court. Rebbi Meïr used to say: it is said, a man came from Baal Shalisha and brought to the Man of God first fruit bread, twenty loaves, etc. Since the year should have been intercalated, why did Elisha not intercalate? This teaches that it was a year of famine and people were eager for threshing floors.
