NASB
"Now fifty men of the sons of the prophets went and stood opposite them at a distance, while the two of them stood by the Jordan."
— 2 Kings 2:7, NASB
“And fifty men of the sons of the prophets went, and stood to view afar off: and they two stood by Jordan.”
“And fifty men of the sons of the prophets went, and stood over against them afar off: and they two stood by the Jordan. ”
“Fifty men of the sons of the prophets went, and stood opposite them at a distance; and they both stood by the Jordan.”
“The fifty members of the prophetic guild went and stood opposite them at a distance, while Elijah and Elisha stood by the Jordan.”
“And fifty men, of the sons of the prophets, followed them, and stood in sight, at a distance: but they two stood by the Jordan.”
“And fifty men of the sons of the prophets went out and took their places facing them a long way off, while the two of them were by the edge of Jordan.”
“And fifty men of the sons of the prophets went, and stood to view afar off: and they two stood by Jordan.”
Elijah said to him, "Elisha, please stay here, for the LORD has sent me to Jericho." But he said, "As the LORD lives, and as you yourself live, I will not leave you." So they came to Jericho.
The sons of the prophets who were at Jericho approached Elisha and said to him, "Do you know that the LORD will take away your master from over you today?" And he answered, "Yes, I know; be still."
Then Elijah said to him, "Please stay here, for the LORD has sent me to the Jordan." And he said, "As the LORD lives, and as you yourself live, I will not leave you." So the two of them went on.
Now fifty men of the sons of the prophets went and stood opposite them at a distance, while the two of them stood by the Jordan.
Elijah took his mantle and folded it together and struck the waters, and they were divided here and there, so that the two of them crossed over on dry ground.
When they had crossed over, Elijah said to Elisha, "Ask what I shall do for you before I am taken from you." And Elisha said, "Please, let a double portion of your spirit be upon me."
He said, "You have asked a hard thing. Nevertheless, if you see me when I am taken from you, it shall be so for you; but if not, it shall not be so."
