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, х 'adartow (H155)]. This word generally denotes a large and sumptuous cloak (Joshua 7:21; Jonah 3:6); but here, the hairy mantle of the prophet (cf. 2 Kings 2:13-14; 1 Kings 19:13; 1 Kings 19:19; Zechariah 13:4; also Genesis 25:25); Septuagint, teen meelooteen, the sheep's skin (Hebrews 11:37).
And wrapped it together, х wayiglom (H1563)] - rolled it like a staff.
And smote the waters. Like the rod of Moses, it had the divinely operating power of the Spirit (Exodus 7:19; Exodus 8:5; Exodus 8:16; Exodus 9:23; Exodus 10:13; Exodus 14:16: cf. 2 Kings 2:20).
