Commentaire sur Rois 2 2:12
וֶאֱלִישָׁ֣ע רֹאֶ֗ה וְה֤וּא מְצַעֵק֙ אָבִ֣י ׀ אָבִ֗י רֶ֤כֶב יִשְׂרָאֵל֙ וּפָ֣רָשָׁ֔יו וְלֹ֥א רָאָ֖הוּ ע֑וֹד וַֽיַּחֲזֵק֙ בִּבְגָדָ֔יו וַיִּקְרָעֵ֖ם לִשְׁנַ֥יִם קְרָעִֽים׃
A cette vue, Élisée s’écria: "Mon père, mon père! Char et cavalerie d’Israël!" Et il ne le vit plus. Alors il saisit ses vêtements, et les déchira de part en part.
