וֶאֱלִישָׁע שָׁב הַגִּלְגָּלָה וְהָרָעָב בָּאָרֶץ וּבְנֵי הַנְּבִיאִים יֹשְׁבִים לְפָנָיו וַיֹּאמֶר לְנַעֲרוֹ שְׁפֹת הַסִּיר הַגְּדוֹלָה וּבַשֵּׁל נָזִיד לִבְנֵי הַנְּבִיאִֽים׃
And Elisha came again to Gilgal: and there was famine in the land; and the sons of the prophets were sitting before him: and he said to his servant, Set on the great pot, and boil a pottage for the sons of the prophets.

Rashi
נזיד. תבשיל:
A porridge. A cooked dish.
לבני הנביאים. לתלמידי נבייא:
For the disciples of the prophets. For the disciples of the prophets.
וַיֵּצֵא אֶחָד אֶל־הַשָּׂדֶה לְלַקֵּט אֹרֹת וַיִּמְצָא גֶּפֶן שָׂדֶה וַיְלַקֵּט מִמֶּנּוּ פַּקֻּעֹת שָׂדֶה מְלֹא בִגְדוֹ וַיָּבֹא וַיְפַלַּח אֶל־סִיר הַנָּזִיד כִּי־לֹא יָדָֽעוּ׃
And one went out into the field to gather herbs, and found a wild vine, and gathered thereof wild gourds his lap full, and came and sliced them into the pot of pottage: for they knew them not.

Rashi
ללקט אורות. גרגיר שקורין אורגא, שמאיר את העינים ויש שפותרין: 'אורות' ירקות, כמו (ישעיהו יח ד): כחם צח עלי אור:
To gather greens [herbs]. [‘אֹרֹת’ is] field-rocket which is called oruge, and it enlightens [=מֵאִיר] the eyes.29See Maseches Yoma 18b. Others interpret ‘אֹרֹת’ as herbs, as in, “like a clear heat on herbs [=אוֹר].”30Yeshayahu 18:4.
וימצא גפן שדה. גופנא בחקלא:
And he found a vine in the field. A vine in the field.
וילקט ממנו פקועות שדה. צמחו ממנו פקועות שדה, הוא בוליי"ן בלע"ז, סם המות ובשם רבי מנחם שמעתי: וילקט לבד ממנו בלעדיו, פקועות שדה:
And gathered wild gourds from it. Wild mushrooms sprouted from it, boleiz, in O.F., which are poisonous.31They did not realize that the mushrooms were poisonous. And in the name of Rabbi Menachem I heard, “and he gathered in addition to the fruit that grew from it, wild gourds.”
ויפלח. ויבקע:
And sliced [them]. Split them.
וַיִּֽצְקוּ לַאֲנָשִׁים לֶאֱכוֹל וַיְהִי כְּאׇכְלָם מֵהַנָּזִיד וְהֵמָּה צָעָקוּ וַיֹּֽאמְרוּ מָוֶת בַּסִּיר אִישׁ הָאֱלֹהִים וְלֹא יָכְלוּ לֶאֱכֹֽל׃
So they poured out for the men to eat. And it came to pass, as they were eating of the pottage, that they cried out, and said, O thou man of God, there is death in the pot. And they could not eat.

וַיֹּאמֶר וּקְחוּ־קֶמַח וַיַּשְׁלֵךְ אֶל־הַסִּיר וַיֹּאמֶר צַק לָעָם וְיֹאכֵלוּ וְלֹא הָיָה דָּבָר רָע בַּסִּֽיר׃ {ס}
But he said, Then bring meal. And he cast it into the pot; and he said, Pour out for the people, that they may eat. And there was no harm in the pot.
