Verse 20 is found in chapter 3 of 2 Kings. Elisha announces that the Lord will provide water without rain or wind and will also deliver Moab into the allies’ hands. The prophecy links provision and victory: God can act in a situation that appears naturally impossible. The valley fills with water the following morning, fulfilling the announced word. The passage emphasizes the effective character of the prophetic word. What God declares does not depend on visible conditions appearing sufficient. Divine intervention transforms a situation of wilderness and scarcity into the setting from which Israel receives the provision necessary to continue.

Des Morgens aber, zur Zeit, da man Speisopfer opfert, siehe, da kam ein Gewässer des Weges von Edom und füllte das Land mit Wasser.
Y aconteció que por la mañana, cuando se ofrece el sacrificio, he aquí vinieron aguas por el camino de Idumea, y la tierra fue llena de aguas.
A la mañana siguiente, a la hora de presentar la ofrenda, comenzó a llegar agua desde Edom, y la tierra se llenó de agua.
Or le matin, au moment de la présentation de l'offrande, voici, l'eau arriva du chemin d'Edom, et le pays fut rempli d'eau.
E la mattina seguente, nell’ora che si offerisce l’offerta, avvenne che, ecco delle acque che venivano di verso Edom; e la terra fu ripiena d’acque.
E sucedeu que, pela manhã, oferecendo-se a oferta de alimentos, eis que vinham as águas pelo caminho de Edom; e a terra se encheu de água.
到了早晨,約在獻祭的時候,看哪,有水從 以東 而來,遍地就滿了水。
