8. Elijah took his mantle, rolled it up and struck the water: it divided, and the two of them crossed over on dry ground.
9. When they had crossed over, Elijah said to Elisha, “Request whatever I might do for you, before I am taken from you.” Elisha answered, “May I receive a double portion of your spirit.”
10. He replied, “You have asked something that is not easy. Still, if you see me taken up from you, your wish will be granted; otherwise not.”
