"And Elisha saw it, and he cried, My father, my father, the chariot of Israel, and the horsemen thereof. And he saw him no more: and he took hold of his own clothes, and rent them in two pieces. He took up also the mantle of Elijah that fell from him, and went back, and stood by the bank of Jordan; and he took the mantle of Elijah that fell from him, and smote the waters, and said, Where is the Lord God of Elijah? and when he also had smitten the waters, they parted hither and thither: and Elisha went over. And when the sons of the prophets which were to view at Jericho saw him, they said, The Spirit of Elijah doth rest on Elisha. And they came to meet him, and bowed themselves to the ground before him." 2 Kings 2:12-15. | |

"Og Elisa så det og råbte: "Min fader, min fader, du Israels vogne og ryttere!" og han så ham ikke mere. Så greb han sine klæder og sønderrev dem. Derpå tog han Elias kappe, som var faldet af ham, op og gik tilbage og stillede sig ved Jordans bred, og han tog Elias kappe, som var faldet af ham, slog vandet med den og sagde: "Hvor er nu Herren, Elias Gud?" og da han havde slået vandet, skiltes det ad, og Elisa gik over. Da profetsønnerne fra Jeriko så det derovre, sagde de: "Elias Ånd hviler på Elisa!" og de gik ham i møde og kastede sig til jorden for ham." 2Kong. 2,12-15. |
