If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [and they moved apart]

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_took ʼĒliyyāh DOM cloak_of,his and,he_folded_it_up and,he_struck DOM the=waters and,they_were_divided they(f) and,hither and,they_passed_over both_of=them on,ground )
The author is using here and here as a common expression to indicate that some of the water moved away to one side of Elijah and Elisha and the rest of the water moved away to the other side. If this phrase does not have that meaning for your readers, you could use a comparable expression from your language that does have that meaning, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [some to one side and some to the other side]

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.
