⁸ Now Elijah took his mantle, rolled it up, and struck the water; and ^(A)it was divided this way and that, so that the two of them crossed over on dry ^(B)ground.

Elisha Follows Elijah

¹⁹ So he departed from there, and found Elisha the son of Shaphat, who was plowing with twelve yoke of oxen before him, and he was with the twelfth. Then Elijah passed by him and threw his ^(A)mantle on him.

¹⁴ So it was, when the people set out from their camp to cross over the Jordan, with the priests bearing the ^(A)ark of the covenant before the people, ¹⁵ and as those who bore the ark came to the Jordan, and ^(B)the feet of the priests who bore the ark dipped in the edge of the water (for the ^(C)Jordan overflows all its banks ^(D)during the whole time of harvest), ¹⁶ that the waters which came down from upstream stood still, and rose in a heap very far away ^[a]at Adam, the city that is beside ^(E)Zaretan. So the waters that went down ^(F)into the Sea of the Arabah, ^(G)the Salt Sea, failed, and were cut off; and the people crossed over opposite Jericho. ¹⁷ Then the priests who bore the ark of the covenant of the Lord stood firm on dry ground in the midst of the Jordan; ^(H)and all Israel crossed over on dry ground, until all the people had crossed completely over the Jordan.

²¹ Then Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and the Lord caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all that night, and ^(A)made the sea into dry land, and the waters were ^(B)divided. ²² So ^(C)the children of Israel went into the midst of the sea on the dry ground, and the waters were ^(D)a wall to them on their right hand and on their left.

²⁹ By faith ^(A)they passed through the Red Sea as by dry land, whereas the Egyptians, attempting to do so, were drowned.

¹³ So it was, when Elijah heard it, that ^(A)he wrapped his face in his mantle and went out and stood in the entrance of the cave. ^(B)Suddenly a voice came to him, and said, “What are you doing here, Elijah?”
