Commentary for II Kings 2:1
וַיְהִ֗י בְּהַעֲל֤וֹת יְהוָה֙ אֶת־אֵ֣לִיָּ֔הוּ בַּֽסְעָרָ֖ה הַשָּׁמָ֑יִם וַיֵּ֧לֶךְ אֵלִיָּ֛הוּ וֶאֱלִישָׁ֖ע מִן־הַגִּלְגָּֽל׃
And it came to pass, when the LORD would take up Elijah by a whirlwind into heaven, that Elijah went with Elisha from Gilgal.
Rashi on II Kings
In a mighty wind. In a stormy wind.1See Yechezkeil 1:4, where a “רוּחַ סְעָרָה” is part of the vision of the מַעֲשֶׂה מֶרְכָּבָה that is described by Yechezkeil.
