1 Kings 17
1 Ref Elijah the Tishbite, who was of the foreigners of Gilead, said to Ahab, As Yahweh, the God of Israel, lives, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, but according to my word.
2 Ref The word of Yahweh came to him, saying,
3 Ref Get you hence, and turn you eastward, and hide yourself by the brook Cherith, that is before the Jordan.
4 Ref It shall be, that you shall drink of the brook; and I have commanded the ravens to feed you there.
5 Ref So he went and did according to the word of Yahweh; for he went and lived by the brook Cherith, that is before the Jordan.
6 Ref The ravens brought him bread and flesh in the morning, and bread and flesh in the evening; and he drank of the brook.
7 Ref It happened after a while, that the brook dried up, because there was no rain in the land.
8 Ref The word of Yahweh came to him, saying,
9 Ref Arise, get you to Zarephath, which belongs to Sidon, and dwell there: behold, I have commanded a widow there to sustain you.
10 Ref So he arose and went to Zarephath; and when he came to the gate of the city, behold, a widow was there gathering sticks: and he called to her, and said, Please get me a little water in a vessel, that I may drink.
11 Ref As she was going to get it, he called to her, and said, Please bring me a morsel of bread in your hand.
12 Ref She said, As Yahweh your God lives, I don't have a cake, but a handful of meal in the jar, and a little oil in the jar: and, behold, I am gathering two sticks, that I may go in and bake it for me and my son, that we may eat it, and die.
13 Ref Elijah said to her, Don't be afraid; go and do as you have said; but make me of it a little cake first, and bring it forth to me, and afterward make for you and for your son.
14 Ref For thus says Yahweh, the God of Israel, The jar of meal shall not empty, neither shall the jar of oil fail, until the day that Yahweh sends rain on the earth.
15 Ref She went and did according to the saying of Elijah: and she, and he, and her house, ate [many] days.
16 Ref The jar of meal didn't empty, neither did the jar of oil fail, according to the word of Yahweh, which he spoke by Elijah.
