Passage: 2 Kings 6:8-23
Instructions: For this assignment, you will be studying the Old Testament story of “Elisha and the Aramean Army” found in 2 Kings 6:8-23. You will use the template below in order to complete a study of this passage.

answering the observation question, “What do I see?”
I. Observation
A.
I have read2 Kings 6:8-23 in both a formal translation (NASB, NRSV, ESV, or CSB) and a functional translation (NIV, NLT, or NCV). Highlight the correct answer. Please use the translation provided in your digital library or found at Biblegateway.com
o
Yes
o
No
B.
Having read the passage in both formal and functional translation, list at least 2 similarities and 3 differences between the way both translations cover this story. These similarities and differences should be related to the text itself rather than the translation. For example, an observation like, “The formal translation is harder to read” is not an acceptable observation because it deals with the translation itself rather than the text. You may list as many similarities and differences as you find providing that you meet the minimum amount for each one.
