Event

By the Jordan Elijah rolls up his mantle and strikes the waters, and the two go over on dry ground

요단 가에서 엘리야가 겉옷을 말아 물을 치매 두 사람이 육지 위로 건넘

2 Kings 2:6–8: Elijah says to Elisha, “Please wait here, for the LORD has sent me to the Jordan.” He says, “As the LORD lives, and as your soul lives, I will not leave you.” Then they both go on. Fifty men of the sons of the prophets go and stand opposite them at a distance; and they both stand by the Jordan. Elijah takes his mantle, and rolls it up, and strikes the waters; and they are divided here and there, so that they both go over on dry ground. WEB says “to him” at 2:6, where the Korean Revised Version names Elisha (엘리야가 또 엘리사에게); the Korean Revised Version has the fifty stand far off and look on (멀리 서서 바라보매), and says 두 사람이 (the two men) where WEB says “they both”.
