11 And it will be they went, going speaking, and behold, a chariot of fire and horses of fire, and they will separate between them two; and Elijah will up in a tempest to the heavens. 12 And Elisha saw, and he crying, My father, my father! the chariot of Israel and his horsemen! and he saw him no more: and he will lay hold upon his garments and rend them into two rents. 13 And he will lift, up the wide cloak of Elijah which fell from above him, and he will turn back and stand by the lip of Jordan. 14 And he will take the wide cloak of Elijah which fell from off him and strike the waters, and say, Where is Jehovah the God of Elijah, even he? And he will strike the waters and they will divide hence and thence, and Elisha will pass through. 15 And the sons of the prophets who were opposite in Jericho will see, and they will say, The spirit of Elijah rested upon Elisha. And they will come to meet him, and they will worship to him to the earth. 16 And they will say to him, Behold now, there is with thy servants fifty men, sons of strength: they shall go now and seek thy lord, lest the spirit of Jehovah lifted him up, and it will cast him upon one of the mountains or into one of the valleys. And he will say, Ye shall not send. 17 And they will press upon him till he was ashamed, and he will say, Send. And they will send fifty men; and they will seek three days, and they found not. 18 And they will turn back to him, and he sitting in Jericho; and he will say to them, Did I not say to you, Ye shall not send? 2 Kings 2:11-18, Smith's Literal Translation.
