ગુજરાતી2 રાજાઓ ૨:૯
તેઓ નદી પાર ઊતર્યા પછી એમ થયું કે, એલિયાએ એલિશાને કહ્યું, “મને તારી પાસેથી લઈ લેવામાં આવે તે અગાઉ તું માગ કે હું તારે માટે શું કરું?” એલિશાએ કહ્યું, “કૃપા કરી તારા આત્માનો બમણો હિસ્સો મારા પર આવે.”
हिन्दी2 राजाओं २:९
उनके पार पहुँचने पर एलिय्याह ने एलीशा से कहा, “इससे पहले कि मैं तेरे पास से उठा लिया जाऊँ जो कुछ तू चाहे कि मैं तेरे लिये करूँ, वह माँग।” एलीशा ने कहा, “ तुझ में जो आत्मा है, उसका दो गुना भाग मुझे मिल जाए ।”

In context

7Fifty men of the sons of the prophets went and stood opposite them at a distance; and they both stood by the Jordan.

8Elijah took his mantle, and rolled it up, and struck the waters; and they were divided here and there, so that they both went over on dry ground.

9When they had gone over, Elijah said to Elisha, “Ask what I shall do for you, before I am taken from you.” Elisha said, “Please let a double portion of your spirit be on me.”

10He said, “You have asked a hard thing. If you see me when I am taken from you, it will be so for you; but if not, it will not be so.”

11As they continued on and talked, behold, a chariot of fire and horses of fire separated them; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven.
