2 Kings 2:6-8

New English Translation

⁶ Elijah said to him, “Stay here, for the Lord has sent me to the Jordan.” But he replied, “As certainly as the Lord lives and as you live, I will not leave you.” So they traveled on together. ⁷ The fifty members of the prophetic guild went and stood opposite them at a distance, while Elijah and Elisha^[a] stood by the Jordan. ⁸ Elijah took his cloak, folded it up, and hit the water with it. The water divided, and the two of them crossed over on dry ground.
