2 Kings 2:8-10
1599 Geneva Bible
8 ¶ Then Elijah took his cloak, and wrapped it together, and smote the [a]waters, and they were divided hither and thither, and they twain went over on the dry land.
9 Now when they were passed over, Elijah said unto Elisha, Ask what I shall do for thee before I be taken from thee. And Elisha said, I pray thee, let thy Spirit [b]be double upon me.
10 And he said, Thou hast asked an hard thing: yet if thou see me when I am taken from thee, thou shalt have it so: and if not, it shall not be.
