1 And Elijah the Tishbite from the Tishbites of Gilead, will say to Ahab, Jehovah the God of Israel lives whom I stood before him if there shall be dew and rain but according to the mouth of my word.
2 And the word of Jehovah will be to him, saying,
3 Go from hence and turn to thyself east, and hide by the torrent Cherith which is before Jordan.
4 And being thou shalt drink from the torrent; and I commanded the ravens to nourish thee there.
5 And he will go and do according to the word of Jehovah: and he will go and dwell by the torrent Cherith which is upon the face of Jordan.
6 And the ravens bringing to him bread and flesh in the morning, and bread and flesh in the evening; and he will drink from the torrent.
7 And it will be from the end of days, and the torrent will dry up, for there was no rain upon the earth.
8 And the word of Jehovah will be to him, saying,
9 Arise, go to Zarephath which is to Zidon, and dwell there: behold, I commanded a widow woman to nourish thee there.
10 And he will rise and go to Zarephath, and will come to the entrance of the city, and behold there a widow woman gathering wood: and he will call to her, and say, Take now to me a little water in a vessel, and I will drink.
11 And she will go to take, and he will call to her and say, Take now to me a bit of bread in thy hand.
12 And she will say, Jehovah thy God lives, if there is to me a cake, but a handful of flour in a bucket, and a little oil in a cruse: and behold me gathering two woods, and I went to do it for me and for my son, and we shall eat and die.
