- And it came to pass, as they still went on, and talked, that, behold, there appeared a chariot of fire, and horses of fire, and parted them both asunder; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven.
- And Elisha saw it, and he cried, My father, my father, the chariot of Israel, and the horsemen thereof. And he saw him no more: and he took hold of his own clothes, and rent them in two pieces.
- He took up also the mantle of Elijah that fell from him, and went back, and stood by the bank of Jordan;
- And he took the mantle of Elijah that fell from him, and smote the waters, and said, Where is the LORD God of Elijah? and when he also had smitten the waters, they parted hither and thither: and Elisha went over.
- And when the sons of the prophets which were to view at Jericho saw him, they said, The spirit of Elijah doth rest on Elisha. And they came to meet him, and bowed themselves to the ground before him.

- Когда они шли и дорогою разговаривали, вдруг явилась колесница огненная и кони огненные, и разлучили их обоих, и понесся Илия в вихре на небо.

- И поднял милоть Илии, упавшую с него, и пошел назад, и стал на берегу Иордана;
- и взял милоть Илии, упавшую с него, и ударил ею по воде, и сказал: где Господь, Бог Илии, --Он Самый? И ударил по воде, и она расступилась туда и сюда, и перешел Елисей.
- И увидели его сыны пророков, которые в Иерихоне, издали, и сказали: опочил дух Илии на Елисее. И пошли навстречу ему, и поклонились ему до земли,
