“So Elijah went from there and found Elisha son of Shaphat.”

He was plowing with twelve yoke of oxen, and he himself was driving the twelfth pair. Elijah went up to him and threw his cloak [mantle] around him. Elisha then left his oxen and ran after Elijah. ‘Let me kiss my father and mother goodbye’ he said, ‘and then I will come with you.’ …So Elisha left him and went back. He took his yoke of oxen and slaughtered them. He burned the plowing equipment to cook the meat and gave it to the people, and they ate. Then he set out to follow Elijah and became his attendant.
