Phrase of Scripture   Correlating Passages TSK Help

he cut down   This could have no natural tendency to raise the iron and cause it to swim: it was only a sign, or ceremony, which the prophet chose to employ on the occasion. 2Ki 2:21; 2Ki 4:41; Exd 15:25; Mar 7:33,34; Mar 8:23-25; Jhn 9:6,7
the iron   This was the real miracle; for the gravity of the metal must otherwise still have kept it at the bottom of the river.
