5. Then the sons of the prophets who were in Jericho came near to Elisha, and they said to him, “Do you know that Yahweh is going to take your master from you today?” He said, “I also know; be quiet!”
6. Then Elijah said to him, “Please stay here, because Yahweh has sent me to the Jordan.” He said, “As Yahweh lives and as your soul lives, I will certainly not leave you!” So the two of them went on.
7. Then fifty men from the sons of the prophets went and stood opposite them at a distance while the two of them stood by the Jordan.
8. Elijah took his cloak, rolled it up, and struck the water. It divided in two, and the two of them crossed over on dry land.
