Elisha Receives the Barley Loaves

Elisha stands with his staff among the rocky hills of Israel as a man and woman present loaves of barley bread before him. Around them, gathered men wait in the shade and open ground, setting the stage for the miracle in which a small offering becomes provision for many. The scene reflects 2 Kings 4:42-44, where firstfruits brought to the prophet are given to the people, and the Lord’s word proves sufficient: they eat, and food remains. The artwork emphasizes faithful giving, prophetic obedience, and God’s ability to multiply humble provision for a hungry community. It is well suited for Bible story resources, teaching on Elisha, children’s ministry lessons, sermons on generosity, and visual studies of Old Testament miracles.
