MLV(i)
8 And Elijah took his mantle and wrapped it together and struck the waters and they were divided here and there, so that the two went over on dry ground.
9 And it happened, when they were gone over, that Elijah said to Elisha, Ask what I will do for you before I am taken from you. And Elisha said, I beseech you, let a double portion of your spirit be upon me. 10 And he said, You have asked a hard thing. Nevertheless, if you see me when I am taken from you, it will be so to you, but if not, it will not be so.
