Continuing Erich Reimer's analysis of Mendelssohn's oratorio Elias, the author makes a detailed comparison between the text and biblical sources. Alongside the main text taken from I Kings 8 and 14 to II Kings 2 are a host of fragments, including passages from II Kings I and those aimed at the New Testament. It is advisable to distinguish between the evident absence of those passages that could refer to John the Baptist or Christ and the presence of those that subtly mirror Mendelssohn's own Christian convictions. Deuteronomy 6:4-5 appears to serve as the basis for Elias; both verses can be traced and identified, while they are dispersed without change between three numbers (21, 136, and 8).
