ELI YAH FLEES FROM IY ZEBEL
And Ach Ab tells Iy Zebel all Eli Yah worked; and how he slaughtered all the prophets with the sword. 2 And Iy Zebel sends an angel to Eli Yah, saying, Thus work the elohim and add also; about this time tomorrow I set your soul as the soul of one of them. 3 And he sees and rises and goes for his soul and comes to Beer Sheba, Yah Hudah and sets his lad there; 4 and goes by himself a journey of a day into the wilderness and comes and settles under one juniper: and he asks for his soul to die; and says, Enough now, O Yah Veh, take away my soul; for I am no better than my fathers. 5 And as he lies down and sleeps under one juniper, behold, an angel touches him and says to him, Rise! Eat! 6 And he looks, and behold, an ashcake baked on red hot stones and a cruse of water at his head pieces. And he eats and drinks and returns and lies down. 7 And the angel of Yah Veh returns a second time and touches him and says, Rise! Eat! Because the journey is too great for you. 8
ELI YAH IN MOUNT HOREB
And he rises and eats and drinks and goes in the substance of that food forty days and forty nights to Horeb the mount of Elohim: 9 and he comes to a cave and stays there overnight; and behold, the word of Yah Veh to him and says to him, What - to you here, Eli Yah? 10 And he says, In being zealous, I am zealous for Yah Veh Elohim Sabaoth: for the sons of Yisra El forsook your covenant, demolished your sacrifice altars and slaughtered your prophets with the sword; and I - I only, remain; and they seek to take away my soul. 11 And he says, Go! Stand on the mount at the face of Yah Veh. And behold, Yah Veh passes by and a great and strong wind splits the mountains and breaks the rocks at the face of Yah Veh; Yah Veh is not in the wind: and after the wind, a quake; Yah Veh is not in the quake: 12 and after the quake, a fire; Yah Veh is not in the fire: and after the fire, a still thin voice: 13 and so be it, Eli Yah hears and veils his face in his mighty mantle; and goes and stands in the opening of the cave. And behold, a voice says to him, What - to you here, Eli Yah? 14 And he says, In being zealous, I am zealous for Yah Veh Elohim Sabaoth: because the sons of Yisra El forsook your covenant, demolished your sacrifice altars and slaughtered your prophets with the sword; and I - I only, remain; and they seek to take away my soul. 15 And Yah Veh says to him, Go! Return on your way to the wilderness of Dammeseq; and go in and anoint Haza El sovereign over Aram; 16 and anoint Yah Hu the son of Nimshi sovereign over Yisra El; and anoint Eli Shua the son of Shaphat of Abel Mecholah prophet in your stead: 17 and so be it, he who escapes the sword of Haza El Yah Hu deathifies; and he who escapes the sword of Yah Hu Eli Shua deathifies: 18 and I survive seven thousand in Yisra El - all the knees who bowed not to Baal and every mouth who kissed him not. 19 And he goes there and finds Eli Shua the son of Shaphat plowing with twelve yoke at his face and he is with the twelfth: and Eli Yah passes by him and casts his mighty mantle on him. 20 And he leaves the oxen and runs after Eli Yah and says, Let me, I beseech you, kiss my father and my mother - and I go after you. And he says to him, Go! Return! What work I to you? 21 And he returns from after him and takes a yoke of oxen and sacrifices them and stews their flesh with the instruments of the oxen; and gives to the people and they eat: and he rises and goes after Eli Yah and ministers to him.
