ee-LYE-shuh
This person shows up in 2 Kings 2:1: “When Yahweh was about to take Elijah up by a whirlwind into heaven, Elijah went with Elisha from Gilgal.” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real person in a real place.
2 Kings 2:1
“When Yahweh was about to take Elijah up by a whirlwind into heaven, Elijah went with Elisha from Gilgal.”
