Context — Elijah Taken Up to Heaven
6And Elijah said to Elisha, “Please stay here, for the LORD has sent me on to the Jordan.” But Elisha replied, “As surely as the LORD lives and as you yourself live, I will not leave you.” So the two of them went on.
7Then a company of fifty of the sons of the prophets went and stood at a distance, facing Elijah and Elisha as the two of them stood by the Jordan.
8And Elijah took his cloak, rolled it up, and struck the waters, which parted to the right and to the left, so that the two of them crossed over on dry ground.
9After they had crossed over, Elijah said to Elisha, “Tell me, what can I do for you before I am taken away from you?” “Please, let me inherit a double portion of your spirit,” Elisha replied. 10“You have requested a difficult thing,” said Elijah. “Nevertheless, if you see me as I am taken from you, it will be yours. But if not, then it will not be so.”Cross References

2 Kings 2:8 Summary
[In this verse, Elijah uses his cloak to part the waters of the Jordan River, allowing him and Elisha to cross over on dry ground. This miracle demonstrates God's power and authority, and shows Elijah's faith and trust in Him, similar to other biblical miracles such as the parting of the Red Sea in Exodus 14:21. By using his cloak in this way, Elijah is also passing on his authority and power to Elisha, as seen in the subsequent conversation between the two in 2 Kings 2:9-10. This event reminds us that, just like Elijah, we can trust in God's power and intervention in our lives, as seen in verses like Psalm 107:29 and Matthew 14:27.]
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the significance of Elijah's cloak in this verse?
Elijah's cloak represents his authority and power as a prophet, and by using it to part the waters, he demonstrates his faith and trust in God, much like Moses did in Exodus 14:21 when he parted the Red Sea.
Why did the waters part when Elijah struck them with his cloak?
The waters parted because of God's supernatural power and intervention, as seen in other miracles such as the parting of the Red Sea in Exodus 14:21 and the calming of the storm in Matthew 8:26.
What can we learn from Elijah's actions in this verse?
We can learn about the importance of faith and trust in God's power, as well as the significance of symbols and objects in biblical narratives, such as the staff of Moses in Exodus 4:2-5 and the rod of Aaron in Numbers 17:8.
How does this miracle relate to the larger story of Elijah and Elisha?
This miracle marks a pivotal moment in the transition of prophetic authority from Elijah to Elisha, as seen in the subsequent conversation between the two in 2 Kings 2:9-10, and demonstrates God's confirmation of Elisha as Elijah's successor, similar to the transfer of authority from Moses to Joshua in Deuteronomy 31:7-8 and Joshua 1:1-9.
Reflection Questions
- What are some areas in my life where I need to trust in God's power and intervention, just like Elijah did in this verse?
- How can I, like Elijah, use the symbols and objects in my life to point others to God's power and authority?
- What are some ways I can demonstrate my faith and trust in God, even in the face of uncertainty or challenge, as seen in Elijah's actions in this verse?
- What can I learn from Elijah's willingness to pass on his authority and power to Elisha, and how can I apply this to my own relationships and leadership roles, as seen in other biblical examples such as Moses and Joshua in Deuteronomy 31:7-8 and Joshua 1:1-9?
Gill's Exposition on 2 Kings 2:8
And Elijah took his mantle, and wrapped it together,.... Folded it up close together, in a position to smite with it; this is thought to be not his hairy garment, but a shorter robe, that was worn
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on 2 Kings 2:8
And Elijah took his mantle, and wrapped it together, and smote the waters, and they were divided hither and thither, so that they two went over on dry ground. Elijah took his mantle , [ 'adartow (H155)].
Trapp's Commentary on 2 Kings 2:8
2 Kings 2:8 And Elijah took his mantle, and wrapped [it] together, and smote the waters, and they were divided hither and thither, so that they two went over on dry ground.Ver. 8. And smote the waters, and they were divided.] Elijah was a great wonder worker: and this is reckoned by some, his seventh, by others his eleventh miracle.
Ellicott's Commentary on 2 Kings 2:8
(8) His mantle.—The hairy ’addθreth, which characterised him as prophet. Zechariah 13:4, ’addθreth sη‘βr, “mantle of hair;” Syriac and Arabic, “head-dress” (wrongly). Wrapped it together.—Rolled it up. Here only. (Comp. “my substance,” or “mass,” Psalms 139:16; “blue mantles,” Ezekiel 27:24, from the same root.) LXX., εἵλησεν; Vulg., “involvit;” Syriac, “rolled it up.” Smote the waters.—A symbolical action like that of Moses smiting the rock, or stretching out his rod over the sea. (Comp. also the use of Elisha’s staff, 2 Kings 4:29.) In all these cases the outward and visible sign is made the channel of the invisible and spiritual force of faith. They were divided hither and thither.—Exodus 14:16; Exodus 14:21-22; Joshua 4:22, seq. So that.—And.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on 2 Kings 2:8
Verse 8. Took his mantle] τηνμηλωτηναυτου, his sheep-skin, says the Septuagint. The skins of beasts, dressed with the hair on, were formerly worn by prophets and priests as the simple insignia of their office. As the civil authority was often lodged in the hands of such persons, particularly among the Jews, mantles of this kind were used by kings and high civil officers when they bore no sacred character. The custom continues to the present day; a lamb's skin hood or cloak is the badge which certain graduates in our universities wear; and the royal robes of kings and great officers of state are adorned with the skins of the animal called the ermine. They were divided hither and thither] This was a most astonishing miracle, and could be performed only by the almighty power of God.
Cambridge Bible on 2 Kings 2:8
8. And Elijah took his mantle] In 2 Kings 1:8 the mantle was not mentioned, but the word here is the same as in Zechariah 13:4, so that there can be little doubt that the expression ‘hairy man’ above refers to the garment, and not to the head and beard. and wrapt it together] Making thus a sort of roll or rod, and reminding us by his action of Moses, who smote with his rod the waters of the Nile (Exodus 7:17; Exodus 7:20) when they were to be turned into blood.
Barnes' Notes on 2 Kings 2:8
They were divided ... - The attestation to the divine mission of Elijah furnished by this miracle would tend to place him upon a par in the thoughts of men with the two great leaders of the nation named in the marginal references.
Whedon's Commentary on 2 Kings 2:8
8. His mantle — The shaggy garment that had been so long his prophetical badge. Wrapped it together — Rolled it up in the form of a twisted cord, or a wonder-working rod. Smote the waters — As if they were an enemy in his way.
