TSNTyndale Study Notes:

2:23 The group of boys could have been young adults; the Hebrew term has a wide range of meanings, at times being used of a young adult still unskilled in his profession, such as when Solomon petitioned the Lord for wisdom because he was young and inexperienced (1 Kgs 3:7). Joshua’s spies at Jericho were designated by the same term (Josh 6:22-23).
• To call someone baldy was disrespectful. The young men told Elisha to go away (literally go up), mocking Elisha’s God-given position as successor to Elijah.


UTNuW Translation Notes:

(Occurrence 0) went up from there to Bethel

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_ascended from=there house_of אֵל and=he going_up in/on/at/with,way and,boys small they_came_out from/more_than the=city and,jeered in=him/it and=they_said to=him/it leaf_of baldhead leaf_of baldhead )

The phrase “went up” is used her because Bethel is higher in elevation than Jericho.

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

(Occurrence 0) Go up

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_ascended from=there house_of אֵל and=he going_up in/on/at/with,way and,boys small they_came_out from/more_than the=city and,jeered in=him/it and=they_said to=him/it leaf_of baldhead leaf_of baldhead )

The young boys wanted Elisha to go away from them and expressed this by saying “go up.” Alternate translation: “Go away”

(Occurrence 0) baldhead

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_ascended from=there house_of אֵל and=he going_up in/on/at/with,way and,boys small they_came_out from/more_than the=city and,jeered in=him/it and=they_said to=him/it leaf_of baldhead leaf_of baldhead )

A bald person does not have any hair on their head. The young boys were mocking Elisha for having a bald head.
