When Elisha saw it, he ripped off his own clothes, tore them into pieces and placed Elijah's mantle on his back. Then he returned to the Jordan and did just as his master had done: He took off the mantle and struck the water with it. Immediately the waters parted, and Elisha walked over on dry ground.
Nang makita ni Eliseo ito, sinira niya ang kanyang sariling kasuotan sa maliliit na piraso at inilagay ang balabal ni Elias sa likod niya. At siya ay bumalik sa Jordan at ginawa niya ang ginawa ng tagapagturo niya: Hinubad niya ang balabal at hinampas ang tubig nito.
