2 Raja-raja 2:10-11

2:10 Elijah ¹  replied, “That’s a difficult request! ²  If you see me taken from you, may it be so, but if you don’t, it will not happen.”

2:11 As they were walking along and talking, suddenly a fiery chariot ³  pulled by fiery horses appeared. ⁴  They went between Elijah and Elisha, ⁵  and Elijah went up to heaven in a windstorm.

[2:10]  ¹ tn Heb “he”; the referent (Elijah) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[2:10]  ² tn Heb “You have made difficult [your] request.”

[2:11]  ³ tn Though the noun is singular here, it may be collective, in which case it could be translated “chariots.”

[2:11]  ⁴ tn Heb “look, a chariot of fire and horses of fire.”

[2:11]  ⁵ tn Heb “and they made a division between the two of them.”
