2 Raja-raja 2:15

2:15 When the members of the prophetic guild in Jericho, ¹  who were standing at a distance, ²  saw him do this, they said, “The spirit that energized Elijah ³  rests upon Elisha.” They went to meet him and bowed down to the ground before him.

Ratapan 5:5

5:5 We are pursued – they are breathing down our necks; ⁴ 

we are weary and have no rest. ⁵ 

Ulangan 5:14

5:14 but the seventh day is the Sabbath ⁶  of the Lord your God. On that day you must not do any work, you, your son, your daughter, your male slave, your female slave, your ox, your donkey, any other animal, or the foreigner who lives with you, ⁷  so that your male and female slaves, like yourself, may have rest.

[2:15]  ² tn Heb “and the sons of the prophets who were in Jericho, [who were standing] opposite, saw him and said.”

[2:15]  ³ tn Heb “the spirit of Elijah.”

[5:5]  ⁴ tn Heb “We are hard-driven on our necks”

[5:5]  ⁵ sn For the theological allusion that goes beyond physical rest, see, e.g., Deut 12:10; 25:19; Josh 1:13; 11:23; 2 Sam 7:1, 11; 1 Chron 22:18; 2 Chron 14:6-7

[5:14]  ⁶ tn There is some degree of paronomasia (wordplay) here: “the seventh (הַשְּׁבִיעִי, hashÿvi’i) day is the Sabbath (שַׁבָּת, shabbat).” Otherwise, the words have nothing in common, since “Sabbath” is derived from the verb שָׁבַת (shavat, “to cease”).

[5:14]  ⁷ tn Heb “in your gates”; NRSV, CEV “in your towns”; TEV “in your country.”
