Elijah Passing on his Prophetic Mantle to Elisha

When Elijah passed by Elisha, he threw his cloak on him as a symbolic gesture of passing on his prophetic mantle. This act signified that Elisha was chosen to succeed Elijah as a prophet.

This event is recorded in the biblical book of 2 Kings 2:8-15. After Elijah throws his cloak on Elisha, Elisha leaves his current occupation as a farmer and becomes Elijah's disciple.

Elisha goes on to perform many miracles and continue the work of Elijah, including healing the sick, raising the dead, and performing wonders through the power of God.
