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.

Verse 12 is found in chapter 2 of 2 Kings. Elijah asks Elisha what he wishes to receive before his departure. The request for a double portion of his spirit should be understood within the context of inheritance and succession: Elisha asks to be recognized as the prophetic heir. Its fulfillment does not depend on human will, but on God, and Elijah’s departure occurs through an extraordinary manifestation. The mantle that falls enables Elisha to continue his master’s mission. The scene affirms the continuity of the prophetic word even when the prophet who spoke it is gone.
