TSNTyndale Study Notes:

2:11 Chariot of fire . . . horses of fire . . . whirlwind: These things represent God’s appearance in mighty power (cp. Isa 66:15).
• Elijah was carried . . . into heaven, like Enoch (Gen 5:24), without dying. Some believe that Enoch and Elijah will reappear at the time of the end (see study note on Rev 11:1-13).


UTNuW Translation Notes:

(Occurrence 0) behold

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_was they(emph) walking went and,talking and=see/lo/see! chariot fire and,horses fire and,separated between both_of=them and=he/it_ascended ʼĒliyyāh in/on/at/with,whirlwind the=heavens )

The word “behold” here alerts us to pay attention to the surprising information that follows.

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

(Occurrence 0) a chariot of fire and horses of fire

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_was they(emph) walking went and,talking and=see/lo/see! chariot fire and,horses fire and,separated between both_of=them and=he/it_ascended ʼĒliyyāh in/on/at/with,whirlwind the=heavens )

Here the phrase “of fire” means that these were surround by fire. Alternate translation: “a chariot surrounded by fire pulled by horses surrounded by fire”

(Occurrence 0) went up by a whirlwind into heaven

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_was they(emph) walking went and,talking and=see/lo/see! chariot fire and,horses fire and,separated between both_of=them and=he/it_ascended ʼĒliyyāh in/on/at/with,whirlwind the=heavens )

“was carried into the sky by a whirlwind.” Translate the word “whirlwind” the same as you did in 2 Kings 2:1.
