7. Fifty men of the groups of prophets came and stood far from where Elijah and Elisha were by the Jordan.
8. Elijah took off his coat, rolled it up, and hit the water. The water divided to the right and to the left, and Elijah and Elisha crossed over on dry ground.
9. After they had crossed over, Elijah said to Elisha, “What can I do for you before I am taken from you?”Elisha said, “Leave me a double share of your spirit.”
10. Elijah said, “You have asked a hard thing. But if you see me when I am taken from you, it will be yours. If you don’t, it won’t happen.”
