2 Kings 2:6-8

Expanded Bible

⁶ Elijah said to Elisha, “Stay here. The Lord has sent me to the Jordan River.”

Elisha answered, “As the Lord lives, and as you live, I won’t leave you.”

So the two of them went on. ⁷ Fifty men of the ·groups [company; brotherhood; ^Lsons] of prophets came and stood ·far [at a distance] from where Elijah and Elisha were standing by the Jordan. ⁸ Elijah took off his ·coat [cloak; ^Tmantle], ·rolled [folded] it up, and hit the water. The water divided to ·the right and to the left [^Lone side and the other], and Elijah and Elisha crossed over on dry ground [^Creminiscent of the crossing of the Sea; Ex. 14].
