And he laidª°¹ his handsª upon¹ him, and gave him a charge,ª° as¹ the LORDª commandedª° by the handª of Moses.ª" {Num 27:16-23} + "And Joshuaª the sonª of Nunª was fullª of the spiritª of wisdom;ª for¹ Mosesª had laidª°¹ his handsª upon¹ him: and the childrenª of Israelª hearkenedª° unto¹ him, and didª° as¹ the LORDª commandedª°¹ Moses.ª" {Deu 34:9} + "O LORDª Godª of Abraham,ª Isaac,ª and of Israel,ª our fathers,ª keepª° this¹ for everª in the imaginationª of the thoughtsª of the heartª of thy people,ª and prepareª° their heartª unto¹ thee: ... And giveª° unto Solomonª my sonª a perfectª heart,ª to keepª° thy commandments,ª thy testimonies,ª and thy statutes,ª and to doª° all¹ [these things], and to buildª° the palace,ª [for] the which¹ I have made provision.ª°" {1Ch 29:18-19} + "[[[A Psalm] for Solomon.]]ª Giveª° the kingª thy judgments,ª O God,ª and thy righteousnessª unto the king'sª son.ª" {Psa 72:1} + "The prayersª of Davidª the sonª of Jesseª are ended.ª°" {Psa 72:20} + "Thenª opened¹ he²° theirª understanding,ª that they might understandª° the¹ scriptures,ª ...

Andª nowª come¹ I²° toª thee;ª andª these thingsª I speakª° inª the¹ world,ª thatª they might haveª° myª joyª fulfilledª° inª themselves.²¹" {Jhn 17:9-13} + "Butª ye shall receiveª° power,ª after that the¹ Holyª Ghostª is comeª° uponª you:ª andª ye shall beª° witnessesª unto meª bothª inª Jerusalem,ª andª inª allª Judaea,ª andª in Samaria,ª andª untoª the uttermost partª of the¹ earth.ª" {Act 1:8} + "Thenª laid¹ they²° [their] handsª onª them,ª andª they receivedª° the Holyª Ghost.ª" {Act 8:17} + "Andª now,ª behold,ª° Iª knowª° thatª yeª all,ª amongª whomª I have goneª° preachingª° the¹ kingdomª of God,ª shall seeª° myª faceª no more.ª ...

Elisha said:
"And I will come downª° and talkª° with¹ thee there:¹ and I will takeª° of¹ the spiritª which¹ [is] upon¹ thee, and will putª° [it] upon¹ them; and they shall bearª° the burdenª of the peopleª with¹ thee, that thou¹ bearª° [it] not¹ thyself alone.¹" {Num 11:17} + "And the LORDª came downª° in a cloud,ª and spakeª° unto¹ him, and tookª° of¹ the spiritª that¹ [was] upon¹ him, and gaveª° [it] unto¹ the seventyª elders:ªª and it came to pass,¹ [that], when the spiritª restedª° upon¹ them, they prophesied,ª° and did not¹ cease.ª°" {Num 11:25} + "Giveª° therefore thy servantª an understandingª° heartª to judgeª°¹ thy people,ª that I may discernª° between¹ goodª and bad:ª for¹ who¹ is ableª° to judgeª° this¹ thy so greatª¹ a people?ª" {1Kg 3:9} + "Now,¹ O LORDª God,ª let thy promiseª unto¹ Davidª my fatherª be established:ª° for¹ thou¹ hast made me kingª° over¹ a peopleª like the dustª of the earthª in multitude.ª ...

a double portion:
This probably refers to the law respecting the first-born, who had a double portion of the property of his father. As Elisha may have considered himself as the first-born of Elijah, so he requested a double portion of his spiritual influence. "And thou shalt putª° [some] of thine honourª¹ upon¹ him, that¹ all¹ the congregationª of the childrenª of Israelª may be obedient.ª°" {Num 27:20} + "But¹ he shall acknowledgeª° the sonª of the hatedª°¹ [for] the firstborn,ª by givingª° him a doubleª portionª of all¹ that¹ he hath:ª° for¹ he¹ [is] the beginningª of his strength;ª the rightª of the firstbornª [is] his." {Deu 21:17} + "Turnª° you to the strong hold,ª ye prisonersª of hope:ª even¹ to dayª do I declareª° [that] I will renderª° doubleª unto thee;" {Zch 9:12} + "In that¹ dayª shall the LORDª defendª°¹ the inhabitantsª° of Jerusalem;ª and he that is feebleª° among them at that¹ dayª shall be¹ as David;ª and the houseª of Davidª [shall be] as God,ª as the angelª of the LORDª beforeª them." {Zch 12:8} + "Let²° the¹ eldersª that ruleª° wellª be counted worthyª° of doubleª honour,ª especiallyª they who labourª° inª the wordª andª doctrine.ª" {1Tm 5:17}
