How it is possible that the story about Elisha's succession in 2
Kings 2:1-18 is now remembered as the story about Elijah's ascent?
The intertextual answer is provided by the contrast between the
number of references about the human heavenly ascension in the
Hebrew Bible, and the popularity of this theme in the Ancient Near
East. However, in this dissertation we focus on the more direct
intratextual approach. We analyze the construction of the narrative
in order to discern the features of style, structure, and symbolism
which emphasize Elijah's ascent, rather than Elisha's succession.
As a result, we can identify the proto-symbol of the narrative
(Gilgal) which is interpreted by three elements (whirlwind,
chariotry, and rolled mantle) referring to Elijah's ascent.
