And it came to pass, when they were gone over, that Elijah said unto Elisha, Ask what I shall do for thee, before I am taken from thee. And Elisha said, I pray thee, let a double portion of thy spirit be upon me.
And whanne þei hadden passid, Elie seide to Elisee, Axe thou þat, þat thou wolt þat Y do to þee, bifor þat Y be takun awey fro þee. And Elisee seide, Y biseche, þat thi double spirit be maad in me.
