Bible Text

[6] Elijah said to him, "Please wait here, for Yahweh has sent me to the Jordan." He said, "As Yahweh lives, and as your soul lives, I will not leave you." They two went on. [7] Fifty men of the sons of the prophets went, and stood over against them afar off: and they two stood by the Jordan. [8] Elijah took his mantle, and wrapped it together, and struck the waters, and they were divided here and there, so that they two went over on dry ground.
