Elisha was the junior prophet to Elijah,
-
Elijah anointed Elisha--not anoint him,
-
he gave him his mantle and so Elisha,
-
after Elijah went up in the fiery chariot,
-
the flying fiery chariot you've heard the story,
-
"Swing low swing chariot, coming for to take me home."
-
Elijah doesn't die at the end of his life
-
he's swooped up in a fiery chariot into heaven and,
-
right before that, he gives his mantle to his disciple Elisha
-
and then Elisha is the prophet from there.
-
Elisha also, weren't there many Jewish lepers Elisha?
-
Couldn't you take a nice Jewish leper to heal Elisha?
