2 Kings 2

¹ The time came for Yahweh to take Elijah up to heaven in a spinning wind. Elijah and Elisha left Gilgal together.

⁴ Elijah said, "Elisha, stay here. Yahweh is sending me to Jericho." Elisha shook his head. "As Yahweh lives and as you live, I will not leave you!" They kept going.

⁷ Fifty prophet boys followed far behind. They stood and watched. Elijah and Elisha reached the river.

⁸ Elijah pulled off his coat. He rolled it tight. He hit the water hard. The river split wide open! Dry ground cut right through the middle. They walked across.

¹³ He turned back. Walked to the river. Elijah's coat lay on the ground. He picked it up.
