And he took the mantle of Elijah that fell from him, and smote the waters, and said, Where is the LORD God of Elijah? and when he also had smitten the waters, they parted hither and thither: and Elisha went over.

Verse 14 is found in chapter 2 of 2 Kings. Elisha picks up Elijah’s mantle and returns to the Jordan. When he strikes the waters, they divide, confirming before the sons of the prophets that the spirit that was upon Elijah is now upon Elisha. The prophets initially search for Elijah because they do not yet fully understand what has happened, but the narrative confirms that the succession has already taken place. Elisha’s authority is established not through a political proclamation, but through the visible continuation of God’s work. Prophetic ministry does not depend on an individual’s physical presence, but on divine faithfulness.

und nahm den Mantel Elia's, der ihm entfallen war, und schlug ins Wasser und sprach: Wo ist nun der HERR, der Gott Elia's? und schlug ins Wasser; da teilte sich's auf beide Seiten, und Elisa ging hindurch.
Y tomando el manto de Elías que se le había caído, hirió las aguas, y dijo: ¿Dónde está Jehová, el Dios de Elías? Y así que hubo del mismo modo herido las aguas, apartáronse a uno y a otro lado, y pasó Eliseo.
il prit le manteau qu'Elie avait laissé tomber, et il en frappa les eaux, et dit: Où est l'Eternel, le Dieu d'Elie? Lui aussi, il frappa les eaux, qui se partagèrent çà et là, et Elisée passa.
E prese il mantello d’Elia, che gli era caduto d’addosso, e ne percosse le acque, e disse: Ove è il Signore Iddio d’Elia? Ed avendo anch’egli percosse le acque, esse si partirono in qua ed in là; ed Eliseo passò.
E tomou a capa de Elias, que dele caíra, e feriu as águas, e disse: Onde está o SENHOR Deus de Elias? Quando feriu as águas elas se dividiram de um ao outro lado; e Eliseu passou.
他用 以利亞 身上掉下來的外衣打水,說:「耶和華- 以利亞 的上帝在哪裏呢?」打水之後,水也左右分開, 以利沙 就過去了。
