7:19 But the officer replied to the prophet, “Look, even if the Lord made it rain by opening holes in the sky, could this happen so soon?” 1 Elisha 2 said, “Look, you will see it happen with your own eyes, but you will not eat any of the food!” 3 7:20 This is exactly what happened to him. The people trampled him to death in the city gate.
1 tnHeb “the Lord was making holes in the sky, could this thing be?” See the note at 7:2.
2 tnHeb “he”; the referent (Elisha) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
