(Some words not found in UHB: and,saw,him sons_of the,prophets which/who in/on/at/with,Jericho at,distance and=they_said rests spirit_of ʼĒliyyāh on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in ʼElīshāˊ and=they_came to,meet,him and,bowed to=him/it ground,to )
This does not mean that they were the sons of prophets, but rather, that they were a group of prophets. See how you translated this phrase in [2 Kings 2:3](../02/03.md). Alternate translation: “the group of prophets”
(Occurrence 0) bowed themselves to the ground before him
(Some words not found in UHB: and,saw,him sons_of the,prophets which/who in/on/at/with,Jericho at,distance and=they_said rests spirit_of ʼĒliyyāh on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in ʼElīshāˊ and=they_came to,meet,him and,bowed to=him/it ground,to )
They are showing him deep respect and acknowledging him as their new leader.

(Occurrence 0) The spirit of Elijah does rest on Elisha
(Some words not found in UHB: and,saw,him sons_of the,prophets which/who in/on/at/with,Jericho at,distance and=they_said rests spirit_of ʼĒliyyāh on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in ʼElīshāˊ and=they_came to,meet,him and,bowed to=him/it ground,to )
Here Elijah’s “spirit” refers to his spiritual power. This speaks of Elisha having this spiritual power as if it were something that physically rested upon him. Alternate translation: “Elisha does have the same spiritual power that Elijah did” or “The spiritual power Elijah had is now with Elisha” (See also: figs-metaphor)
2:1-18 Elijah’s translation into heaven transferred the prophetic mantle to Elisha.

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
