1 Kings 19:11

Go forth The LXX. here adds αὓριον, to-morrow, and the narrative in Josephus (Ant. VIII. 13. 7) represents the prophet's going forth as taking place on the day following the divine questioning. But these variations from the text may be, and probably are, due to a desire to assimilate the narrative to Exodus 34:2, where Moses is told to -be ready in the morning."

stand upon the mount before the Lord Elijah does not go forth (see 1 Kings 19:13) until he recognises the presence of the Lord in the still small voice. The violence of the wind and the earthquake and the devouring rage of the fire, he was made to feel, were not the proper manifestations of Jehovah, were not those tokens by which He would be known to His people, and consequently he abode still in the cave while they were raging. The Lord had not yet appeared.

And behold, the Lord passed by The participial form of the verb עֹבֵר (literally is passing by) seems to require a modification of the translation. What appears to be meant is -the Lord is about to pass by and you shall be able at that time to recognise something of His true character, and to gain the instruction which you need from this revelation." The LXX. gives this sense, ἰδοὺ παρελεύσεται κύριος, -Behold the Lord will pass by." In that case these words belong to the preceding clause, and must be connected with the command to go forth, which the prophet obeyed when he found in which manifestation it pleased the Lord to be present. Thus the narrative of what occurred will commence at -And a great and strong wind, &c."
