2 Kings 2:7-15

2:7

And fifty
<02572>

men
<0376>

of the sons
<01121>

of the prophets
<05030>

went
<01980> (8804)_,

and stood
<05975> (8799)

to view
<05048>

afar off
<07350>_:

and they two
<08147>

stood
<05975> (8804)

by Jordan
<03383>_.

{to view: Heb. in sight, or, over against}

2:8

And Elijah
<0452>

took
<03947> (8799)

his mantle
<0155>_,

and wrapped [it] together
<01563> (8799)_,

and smote
<05221> (8686)

the waters
<04325>_,

and they were divided
<02673> (8735)

hither and thither, so that they two
<08147>

went over
<05674> (8799)

on dry
<02724>

ground.

2:9

And it came to pass, when they were gone over
<05674> (8800)_,

that Elijah
<0452>

said
<0559> (8804)

unto Elisha
<0477>_,

Ask
<07592> (8798)

what I shall do
<06213> (8799)

for thee, before I be taken away
<03947> (8735)

from thee. And Elisha
<0477>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

I pray thee, let a double
<08147>

portion
<06310>

of thy spirit
<07307>

be upon me.

2:10

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Thou hast asked
<07592> (8800)

a hard thing
<07185> (8689)_:

[nevertheless], if thou see
<07200> (8799)

me [when I am] taken
<03947> (8795)

from thee, it shall be so unto thee; but if not, it shall not be [so]. {Thou hast...: Heb. Thou hast done hard in asking}

2:11

And it came to pass, as they still
<01980> (8800)

went on
<01980> (8802)_,

and talked
<01696> (8763)_,

that, behold, [there appeared] a chariot
<07393>

of fire
<0784>_,

and horses
<05483>

of fire
<0784>_,

and parted
<06504> (8686)

them both
<08147>

asunder
<0996>_;

and Elijah
<0452>

went up
<05927> (8799)

by a whirlwind
<05591>

into heaven
<08064>_.

2:12

And Elisha
<0477>

saw
<07200> (8802)

[it], and he cried
<06817> (8764)_,

My father
<01>_,

my father
<01>_,

the chariot
<07393>

of Israel
<03478>_,

and the horsemen
<06571>

thereof. And he saw
<07200> (8804)

him no more: and he took hold
<02388> (8686)

of his own clothes
<0899>_,

and rent
<07167> (8799)

them in two
<08147>

pieces
<07168>_.

2:13

He took up
<07311> (8686)

also the mantle
<0155>

of Elijah
<0452>

that fell
<05307> (8804)

from him, and went back
<07725> (8799)_,

and stood
<05975> (8799)

by the bank
<08193>

of Jordan
<03383>_;

{bank: Heb. lip}

2:14

And he took
<03947> (8799)

the mantle
<0155>

of Elijah
<0452>

that fell
<05307> (8804)

from him, and smote
<05221> (8686)

the waters
<04325>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Where [is] the LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>

of Elijah
<0452>_?

and when he also had smitten
<05221> (8686)

the waters
<04325>_,

they parted
<02673> (8735)

hither and thither: and Elisha
<0477>

went over
<05674> (8799)_.

2:15

And when the sons
<01121>

of the prophets
<05030>

which [were] to view at Jericho
<03405>

saw
<07200> (8799)

him, they said
<0559> (8799)_,

The spirit
<07307>

of Elijah
<0452>

doth rest
<05117> (8804)

on Elisha
<0477>_.

And they came
<0935> (8799)

to meet
<07125> (8800)

him, and bowed
<07812> (8691)

themselves to the ground
<0776>

before him.
