And it came to pass, when the LORDH3068 would take upH5927 ElijahH452 into heavenH8064 by a whirlwindH5591, that ElijahH452 wentH3212 with ElishaH477 from GilgalH1537.
And ElijahH452 saidH559 unto ElishaH477, TarryH3427 here, I pray thee; for the LORDH3068 hath sentH7971 me to BethelH1008. And ElishaH477 saidH559 unto him, As the LORDH3068 livethH2416, and as thy soulH5315 livethH2416, I will not leaveH5800 thee. So they went downH3381 to BethelH1008.
And the sonsH1121 of the prophetsH5030 that were at BethelH1008 came forthH3318 to ElishaH477, and saidH559 unto him, KnowestH3045 thou that the LORDH3068 will take awayH3947 thy masterH113 from thy headH7218 to dayH3117? And he saidH559, Yea, I knowH3045 it; hold ye your peaceH2814.
And ElijahH452 saidH559 unto him, ElishaH477, tarryH3427 here, I pray thee; for the LORDH3068 hath sentH7971 me to JerichoH3405. And he saidH559, As the LORDH3068 livethH2416, and as thy soulH5315 livethH2416, I will not leaveH5800 thee. So they cameH935 to JerichoH3405.
And the sonsH1121 of the prophetsH5030 that were at JerichoH3405 cameH5066 to ElishaH477, and saidH559 unto him, KnowestH3045 thou that the LORDH3068 will take awayH3947 thy masterH113 from thy headH7218 to dayH3117? And he answeredH559, Yea, I knowH3045 it; hold ye your peaceH2814.
And ElijahH452 saidH559 unto him, TarryH3427, I pray thee, here; for the LORDH3068 hath sentH7971 me to JordanH3383. And he saidH559, As the LORDH3068 livethH2416, and as thy soulH5315 livethH2416, I will not leaveH5800 thee. And they twoH8147 went onH3212.
And fiftyH2572 menH376 of the sonsH1121 of the prophetsH5030 wentH1980, and stoodH5975 to viewH5048 afar offH7350: and they twoH8147 stoodH5975 by JordanH3383. {to view: Heb. in sight, or, over against}
And ElijahH452 tookH3947 his mantleH155, and wrapped it togetherH1563, and smoteH5221 the watersH4325, and they were dividedH2673 hither and thither, so that they twoH8147 went overH5674 on dryH2724 ground.
And it came to pass, when they were gone overH5674, that ElijahH452 saidH559 unto ElishaH477, AskH7592 what I shall doH6213 for thee, before I be taken awayH3947 from thee. And ElishaH477 saidH559, I pray thee, let a doubleH8147 portionH6310 of thy spiritH7307 be upon me.
And he saidH559, Thou hast askedH7592 a hard thingH7185: nevertheless, if thou seeH7200 me when I am takenH3947 from thee, it shall be so unto thee; but if not, it shall not be so. {Thou hast…: Heb. Thou hast done hard in asking}
And it came to pass, as they stillH1980 went onH1980, and talkedH1696, that, behold, there appeared a chariotH7393 of fireH784, and horsesH5483 of fireH784, and partedH6504 them bothH8147 asunderH996; and ElijahH452 went upH5927 by a whirlwindH5591 into heavenH8064.
And ElishaH477 sawH7200 it, and he criedH6817, My fatherH1, my fatherH1, the chariotH7393 of IsraelH3478, and the horsemenH6571 thereof. And he sawH7200 him no more: and he took holdH2388 of his own clothesH899, and rentH7167 them in twoH8147 piecesH7168.
He took upH7311 also the mantleH155 of ElijahH452 that fellH5307 from him, and went backH7725, and stoodH5975 by the bankH8193 of JordanH3383; {bank: Heb. lip}
And he tookH3947 the mantleH155 of ElijahH452 that fellH5307 from him, and smoteH5221 the watersH4325, and saidH559, Where is the LORDH3068 GodH430 of ElijahH452? and when he also had smittenH5221 the watersH4325, they partedH2673 hither and thither: and ElishaH477 went overH5674.
And when the sonsH1121 of the prophetsH5030 which were to view at JerichoH3405 sawH7200 him, they saidH559, The spiritH7307 of ElijahH452 doth restH5117 on ElishaH477. And they cameH935 to meetH7125 him, and bowedH7812 themselves to the groundH776 before him.
And they saidH559 unto him, Behold now, there beH3426 with thy servantsH5650 fiftyH2572 strongH2428 menH1121+H582; let them goH3212, we pray thee, and seekH1245 thy masterH113: lest peradventure the SpiritH7307 of the LORDH3068 hath taken him upH5375, and castH7993 him upon someH259 mountainH2022, or into someH259 valleyH1516. And he saidH559, Ye shall not sendH7971. {strong…: Heb. sons of strength} {some mountain: Heb. one of the mountains}
And when they urgedH6484 him till he was ashamedH954, he saidH559, SendH7971. They sentH7971 therefore fiftyH2572 menH376; and they soughtH1245 threeH7969 daysH3117, but foundH4672 him not.
And when they came againH7725 to him, (for he tarriedH3427 at JerichoH3405,) he saidH559 unto them, Did I not sayH559 unto you, GoH3212 not?
And the menH582 of the cityH5892 saidH559 unto ElishaH477, Behold, I pray thee, the situationH4186 of this cityH5892 is pleasantH2896, as my lordH113 seethH7200: but the waterH4325 is naughtH7451, and the groundH776 barrenH7921. {barren: Heb. causing to miscarry}
And he saidH559, BringH3947 me a newH2319 cruseH6746, and putH7760 saltH4417 therein. And they broughtH3947 it to him.
And he went forthH3318 unto the springH4161 of the watersH4325, and castH7993 the saltH4417 in there, and saidH559, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, I have healedH7495 these watersH4325; there shall not be from thence any more deathH4194 or barrenH7921 land.
So the watersH4325 were healedH7495 unto this dayH3117, according to the sayingH1697 of ElishaH477 which he spakeH1696.
And he went upH5927 from thence unto BethelH1008: and as he was going upH5927 by the wayH1870, there came forthH3318 littleH6996 childrenH5288 out of the cityH5892, and mockedH7046 him, and saidH559 unto him, Go upH5927, thou bald headH7142; go upH5927, thou bald headH7142.
And he turnedH6437 backH310, and lookedH7200 on them, and cursedH7043 them in the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068. And there came forthH3318 twoH8147 she bearsH1677 out of the woodH3293, and tareH1234 fortyH705 and twoH8147 childrenH3206 of them.
And he wentH3212 from thence to mountH2022 CarmelH3760, and from thence he returnedH7725 to SamariaH8111.

And ElishaH477 prayedH6419, and saidH559, LORDH3068, I pray thee, openH6491 his eyesH5869, that he may seeH7200. And the LORDH3068 openedH6491 the eyesH5869 of the young manH5288; and he sawH7200: and, behold, the mountainH2022 was fullH4390 of horsesH5483 and chariotsH7393 of fireH784 round aboutH5439 ElishaH477.
SoG3303 thenG3767 afterG3326 the LordG2962 had spokenG2980 unto themG846, he was received upG353 intoG1519 heavenG3772, andG2532 satG2523 onG1537 the right handG1188 of GodG2316.
The chariotsH7393 of GodH430 are twenty thousandH7239, even thousandsH505 of angelsH8136: the LordH136 is among them, as in SinaiH5514, in the holyH6944 place. {even…: or, even many thousands}
Who layeth the beamsH7136 of his chambersH5944 in the watersH4325: who makethH7760 the cloudsH5645 his chariotH7398: who walkethH1980 upon the wingsH3671 of the windH7307:
And I lookedH7200, and, behold, a whirlwindH7307+H5591 cameH935 out of the northH6828, a greatH1419 cloudH6051, and a fireH784 infoldingH3947 itself, and a brightnessH5051 was aboutH5439 it, and out of the midstH8432 thereof as the colourH5869 of amberH2830, out of the midstH8432 of the fireH784. {infolding…: Heb. catching itself}
Also out of the midstH8432 thereof came the likenessH1823 of fourH702 living creaturesH2416. And this was their appearanceH4758; theyH2007 had the likenessH1823 of a manH120.
And every oneH259 had fourH702 facesH6440, and every oneH259 had fourH702 wingsH3671.
And their feetH7272 were straightH3477 feetH7272; and the soleH3709 of their feetH7272 was like the soleH3709 of a calf'sH5695 footH7272: and they sparkledH5340 like the colourH5869 of burnishedH7044 brassH5178. {straight…: Heb. a straight foot}
And they had the handsH3027 of a manH120 under their wingsH3671 on their fourH702 sidesH7253; and they fourH702 had their facesH6440 and their wingsH3671.
Their wingsH3671 were joinedH2266 oneH802 to anotherH269; they turnedH5437 not when they wentH3212; they wentH3212 every oneH376 straightH5676 forwardH6440.
As for the likenessH1823 of their facesH6440, they fourH702 had the faceH6440 of a manH120, and the faceH6440 of a lionH738, on the right sideH3225: and they fourH702 had the faceH6440 of an oxH7794 on the left sideH8040; they fourH702 also had the faceH6440 of an eagleH5404.
Thus were their facesH6440: and their wingsH3671 were stretchedH6504 upwardH4605; twoH8147 wings of every oneH376 were joinedH2266 oneH376 to anotherH376, and twoH8147 coveredH3680 their bodiesH1472. {stretched…: or, divided above}
And they wentH3212 every oneH376 straightH5676 forwardH6440: whither the spiritH7307 was to goH3212, they wentH3212; and they turnedH5437 not when they wentH3212.
As for the likenessH1823 of the living creaturesH2416, their appearanceH4758 was like burningH1197 coalsH1513 of fireH784, and like the appearanceH4758 of lampsH3940: it went up and downH1980 among the living creaturesH2416; and the fireH784 was brightH5051, and out of the fireH784 went forthH3318 lightningH1300.
And the living creaturesH2416 ranH7519 and returnedH7725 as the appearanceH4758 of a flash of lightningH965.
Now as I beheldH7200 the living creaturesH2416, behold oneH259 wheelH212 upon the earthH776 byH681 the living creaturesH2416, with his fourH702 facesH6440.
The appearanceH4758 of the wheelsH212 and their workH4639 was like unto the colourH5869 of a berylH8658: and they fourH702 had oneH259 likenessH1823: and their appearanceH4758 and their workH4639 was as it were a wheelH212 in the middleH8432 of a wheelH212.
When they wentH3212, they wentH3212 upon their fourH702 sidesH7253: and they turnedH5437 not when they wentH3212.
As for their ringsH1354, they were so highH1363 that they were dreadfulH3374; and their ringsH1354 were fullH4392 of eyesH5869 round aboutH5439 them fourH702. {and their rings: or, and their strakes}
And when the living creaturesH2416 wentH3212, the wheelsH212 wentH3212 by themH681: and when the living creaturesH2416 were lifted upH5375 from the earthH776, the wheelsH212 were lifted upH5375.
Whithersoever the spiritH7307 was to goH3212, they wentH3212, thither was their spiritH7307 to goH3212; and the wheelsH212 were lifted upH5375 over againstH5980 them: for the spiritH7307 of the living creatureH2416 was in the wheelsH212. {of…: or, of life}
When those wentH3212, these wentH3212; and when those stoodH5975, these stoodH5975; and when those were lifted upH5375 from the earthH776, the wheelsH212 were lifted upH5375 over againstH5980 them: for the spiritH7307 of the living creatureH2416 was in the wheelsH212. {of…: or, of life}
And the likenessH1823 of the firmamentH7549 upon the headsH7218 of the living creatureH2416 was as the colourH5869 of the terribleH3372 crystalH7140, stretched forthH5186 over their headsH7218 aboveH4605.
And under the firmamentH7549 were their wingsH3671 straightH3477, the oneH802 toward the otherH269: every oneH376 had twoH8147, which coveredH3680 on this sideH2007, and every oneH376 had twoH8147, which coveredH3680 on that sideH2007, their bodiesH1472.
And when they wentH3212, I heardH8085 the noiseH6963 of their wingsH3671, like the noiseH6963 of greatH7227 watersH4325, as the voiceH6963 of the AlmightyH7706, the voiceH6963 of speechH1999, as the noiseH6963 of an hostH4264: when they stoodH5975, they let downH7503 their wingsH3671.
And there was a voiceH6963 from the firmamentH7549 that was over their headsH7218, when they stoodH5975, and had let downH7503 their wingsH3671.
And aboveH4605 the firmamentH7549 that was over their headsH7218 was the likenessH1823 of a throneH3678, as the appearanceH4758 of a sapphireH5601 stoneH68: and upon the likenessH1823 of the throneH3678 was the likenessH1823 as the appearanceH4758 of a manH120 aboveH4605 upon it.
And I sawH7200 as the colourH5869 of amberH2830, as the appearanceH4758 of fireH784 round aboutH5439 withinH1004 it, from the appearanceH4758 of his loinsH4975 even upwardH4605, and from the appearanceH4758 of his loinsH4975 even downwardH4295, I sawH7200 as it were the appearanceH4758 of fireH784, and it had brightnessH5051 round aboutH5439.
As the appearanceH4758 of the bowH7198 that is in the cloudH6051 in the dayH3117 of rainH1653, so was the appearanceH4758 of the brightnessH5051 round aboutH5439. This was the appearanceH4758 of the likenessH1823 of the gloryH3519 of the LORDH3068. And when I sawH7200 it, I fellH5307 upon my faceH6440, and I heardH8085 a voiceH6963 of one that spakeH1696.
And when I lookedH7200, behold the fourH702 wheelsH212 byH681 the cherubimsH3742, oneH259 wheelH212 byH681 oneH259 cherubH3742, and anotherH259 wheelH212 byH681 anotherH259 cherubH3742: and the appearanceH4758 of the wheelsH212 was as the colourH5869 of a berylH8658 stoneH68.
And as for their appearancesH4758, they fourH702 had oneH259 likenessH1823, as if a wheelH212 had been in the midstH8432 of a wheelH212.
When they wentH3212, they wentH3212 upon their fourH702 sidesH7253; they turnedH5437 not as they wentH3212, but to the placeH4725 whither the headH7218 lookedH6437 they followedH3212+H310 it; they turnedH5437 not as they wentH3212.
And their whole bodyH1320, and their backsH1354, and their handsH3027, and their wingsH3671, and the wheelsH212, were fullH4392 of eyesH5869 round aboutH5439, even the wheelsH212 that they fourH702 had. {body: Heb. flesh}
As for the wheelsH212, it was criedH7121 unto them in my hearingH241, O wheelH1534. {it was…: or, they were called in my hearing, wheel, or, galgal}
And every oneH259 had fourH702 facesH6440: the firstH259 faceH6440 was the faceH6440 of a cherubH3742, and the secondH8145 faceH6440 was the faceH6440 of a manH120, and the thirdH7992 the faceH6440 of a lionH738, and the fourthH7243 the faceH6440 of an eagleH5404.
And the cherubimsH3742 were lifted upH7426. This is the living creatureH2416 that I sawH7200 by the riverH5104 of ChebarH3529.
And when the cherubimsH3742 wentH3212, the wheelsH212 wentH3212 by themH681: and when the cherubimsH3742 lifted upH5375 their wingsH3671 to mount upH7311 from the earthH776, the same wheelsH212 alsoH1992 turnedH5437 not from besideH681 them.
When they stoodH5975, these stoodH5975; and when they were lifted upH7311, these lifted upH7426 themselves also: for the spiritH7307 of the living creatureH2416 was in them. {of…: or, of life}
Then the gloryH3519 of the LORDH3068 departedH3318 from off the thresholdH4670 of the houseH1004, and stoodH5975 over the cherubimsH3742.
And the cherubimsH3742 lifted upH5375 their wingsH3671, and mounted upH7426 from the earthH776 in my sightH5869: when they went outH3318, the wheelsH212 also were besideH5980 them, and every one stoodH5975 at the doorH6607 of the eastH6931 gateH8179 of the LORD'SH3068 houseH1004; and the gloryH3519 of the GodH430 of IsraelH3478 was over them aboveH4605.
This is the living creatureH2416 that I sawH7200 under the GodH430 of IsraelH3478 by the riverH5104 of ChebarH3529; and I knewH3045 that they were the cherubimsH3742.
Every oneH259 had fourH702 facesH6440 apieceH259, and every oneH259 fourH702 wingsH3671; and the likenessH1823 of the handsH3027 of a manH120 was under their wingsH3671.
And the likenessH1823 of their facesH6440 was the sameH1992 facesH6440 which I sawH7200 by the riverH5104 of ChebarH3529, their appearancesH4758 and themselves: they wentH3212 every oneH376 straightH5676 forwardH6440.
Was the LORDH3068 displeasedH2734 against the riversH5104? was thine angerH639 against the riversH5104? was thy wrathH5678 against the seaH3220, that thou didst rideH7392 upon thine horsesH5483 and thy chariotsH4818 of salvationH3444? {of…: or, were salvation?}
HearH8085 now, O JoshuaH3091 the highH1419 priestH3548, thou, and thy fellowsH7453 that sitH3427 beforeH6440 thee: for they are menH582 wondered atH4159: for, behold, I will bring forthH935 my servantH5650 the BRANCHH6780. {wondered…: Heb. of wonder, or, sign}
And I turnedH7725, and lifted upH5375 mine eyesH5869, and lookedH7200, and, behold, there cameH3318 fourH702 chariotsH4818 outH3318 from between twoH8147 mountainsH2022; and the mountainsH2022 were mountainsH2022 of brassH5178.
In the firstH7223 chariotH4818 were redH122 horsesH5483; and in the secondH8145 chariotH4818 blackH7838 horsesH5483;
And in the thirdH7992 chariotH4818 whiteH3836 horsesH5483; and in the fourthH7243 chariotH4818 grisledH1261 and bayH554 horsesH5483. {bay: or, strong}
Then I answeredH6030 and saidH559 unto the angelH4397 that talkedH1696 with me, What are these, my lordH113?
And the angelH4397 answeredH6030 and saidH559 unto me, These are the fourH702 spiritsH7307 of the heavensH8064, which go forthH3318 from standingH3320 before the LordH113 of all the earthH776. {spirits: or, winds}
The blackH7838 horsesH5483 which are therein go forthH3318 into the northH6828 countryH776; and the whiteH3836 go forthH3318 afterH310 them; and the grisledH1261 go forthH3318 toward the southH8486 countryH776.
And the bayH554 went forthH3318, and soughtH1245 to goH3212 that they might walk to and froH1980 through the earthH776: and he saidH559, Get you henceH3212, walk to and froH1980 through the earthH776. So they walked to and froH1980 through the earthH776.
Then criedH2199 he uponH853 me, and spakeH1696 unto me, sayingH559, BeholdH7200, these that goH3318 toward the northH6828 countryH776 have quietedH5117 my spiritH7307 in the northH6828 countryH776.
