1 Kings 17:1-12

ECB(i) 1
RAVENS SUSTAIN ELI YAH
And Eli Yah the Tisbehiy of the settlers of Gilad, says to Ach Ab, Yah Veh Elohim of Yisra El lives, at whose face I stand, neither dew nor rain becomes these years, except as according to my mouth. 2 And the word of Yah Veh comes to him, saying, 3 Go from here and face eastward and hide yourself by the wadi Kerith at the face of Yarden: 4 and so be it, drink of the wadi; and I misvah the ravens to sustain you there. 5 So he goes and works according to the word of Yah Veh: he goes and settles by the wadi Kerith at the face of Yarden: 6 and the ravens bring him bread and flesh in the morning and bread and flesh in the evening; and he drinks of the wadi: 7 and so be it, at the end of days, the wadi withers, there being no rain in the land. 8 And so be the word of Yah Veh to him, saying, 9 Rise, go to Sarephath, Sidon and settle there: behold, I misvah a widow woman there to sustain you. 10 So he rises and goes to Sarephath: and he comes to the portal of the city and behold, the widow woman gathers timber: and he calls to her, and says, Take me, I beseech you, a little water in an instrument, to drink. 11 And she goes to take it, and he calls to her, and says, Take me, I beseech you, a morsel of bread in your hand. 12 And she says, Yah Veh your Elohim lives, I have no bakings except a palmful of flour in a pitcher and a little oil in a cruse: and behold, I gather two timbers to go in and work for me and my son to eat - and die.
