And it came to pass, when they were gone over, that Elijah said unto Elisha, Ask what I shall do for thee, before I be taken away from thee. And Elisha said, I pray thee, let a double portion of thy spirit be upon me.
Después de que cruzaron, Elías le dijo a Eliseo: 'Pídeme lo que pueda hacer por ti antes de que sea llevado de tu lado.' Y Eliseo dijo: 'Por favor, que tenga una doble porción de tu espíritu.'
Eliseo pidió a Elías una doble porción de su espíritu antes de que fuera llevado al cielo.
📚 Contexto Histórico
This occurs just before Elijah is taken up to heaven in a whirlwind, as the great prophet prepares to pass his ministry to his successor Elisha. In ancient Israel, a 'double portion' referred to the inheritance right of the firstborn son, who received twice as much as other heirs. Elisha wasn't asking to be twice as great as Elijah, but rather to be recognized as his spiritual heir and successor.
