NSB⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁰ He went to Zarephath. When he came to the gate of the town, he saw a widow woman gathering sticks. He said to her: »Will you give me a little water in a vessel for my drink?« ¹¹ As she was going to get it, he said: »And get me some bread.« ¹² Then she said: »By the life of Jehovah your God, I have nothing but a little meal, and a drop of oil in the bottle; and now I am getting two sticks together so that I may go in and make it ready for me and my son, so that we may have a meal before our death.« ¹³ Elijah said to her: »Have no fear. Go and do as you said, but first make me a little cake of it and come and give it to me. Then make something for yourself and your son. ¹⁴ »For this is the word of Jehovah, the God of Israel: ‘Your supply of meal will not come to an end. The bottle will never be without oil, till the day when Jehovah sends rain on the earth.’« ¹⁵ She did as Elijah told her and they all had food for a long time. ¹⁶ The store of meal did not come to an end. The bottle was never without oil. This was just as Jehovah said through the mouth of Elijah.
