International Standard Version

¹³ picked up Elijah’s ornamented cloak that had fallen from him, and went back to stand on the bank of the Jordan River.^{[a] 14} Elisha^[b] took hold of Elijah’s ornamental cloak that had been left behind,^[c] struck the water, and cried out: “Where is the Lord God of Elijah?” All of a sudden, after he had struck the water, the water divided into two parts! One side of the river stood opposite the other, and Elisha crossed over.

Elisha is Recognized as Elijah’s Successor

¹⁵ As soon as the Guild of Prophets who lived adjacent to Jericho saw Elisha,^[d] they began to announce, “The spirit^[e] of Elijah is at rest on Elisha!” So they came out to meet him and they greeted him by bowing low to the ground in front of him.
