1 Kings 17:1-7 Elijah the Tishbite from Tishbe of Gilead said to Ahab, "⌊As Yahweh lives⌋,* the God of Israel before whom I stand, there shall surely not be dew nor rain these years ⌊except by my command⌋."*

LEB⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Elijah the Tishbite from Tishbe of Gilead said to Ahab, "_⌊As Yahweh lives_⌋,* the God of Israel before whom I stand, there shall surely not be dew nor rain these years _⌊except by my command_⌋."* ² Then the word of Yahweh came to him, saying, ³ "Go from this place and turn to the east; you must hide yourself in the Wadi* Kerith _⌊which faces the Jordan_⌋.* ⁴ It shall be that you shall drink from the wadi,* and I have commanded the crows to sustain you there." ⁵ So he went and did according to the word of Yahweh. He went and stayed in the Wadi* Kerith _⌊which faces the Jordan_⌋.* ⁶ The crows were bringing bread and meat in the morning for him and bread and meat in the evening, and he drank from the wadi.* ⁷ It happened _⌊after a while_⌋* that the wadi* dried up, because there was no rain in the land.
