*
Arise ,
get thee to Zarephath ,
which belongeth to Zidon ,
and dwell there :
behold ,
I have commanded a widow woman there to sustain thee .
*
So he arose and went to Zarephath .
And when he came to the gate of the city ,
behold ,
the widow woman was there gathering of sticks :
and he called to her ,
and said ,
Fetch me ,
I pray thee ,
a little water in a vessel ,
that I may drink .
*
And as she was going to fetch it ,
he called to her ,
and said ,
Bring me ,
I pray thee ,
a morsel of bread in thine hand .
*
And she said ,
As the LORD thy God liveth ,
I have not a cake ma #
owg #,
but an handful m @
lo #
of meal in a barrel ,
and a little oil in a cruse :
and ,
behold ,
I am gathering two sticks ,
that I may go in and dress it for me and my son ,
that we may eat it ,
and die .
*
And Elijah said unto her ,
Fear not ;
go and do as thou hast said :
but make me thereof a little cake first ri #
shown #,
and bring it unto me ,
and after make for thee and for thy son .
*
For thus saith the LORD God of Israel Yisra #
el #,
The barrel of meal shall not waste ,
neither shall the cruse of oil fail ,
until the day that the LORD sendeth rain upon the earth .
*
And she went and did according to the saying of Elijah :
and she ,
and he ,
and her house ,
did eat many days .
*
And the barrel of meal wasted not ,
neither did the cruse of oil fail ,
according to the word of the LORD ,
which he spake by Elijah .
*
And it came to pass after these things ,
that the son of the woman ,
the mistress of the house ,
fell sick ;
and his sickness was so sore ,
that there was no breath left in him .
*
And she said unto Elijah ,
What have I to do with thee ,
O thou man of God ?
art thou come unto me to call #
my sin to remembrance ,
and to slay my son ?
*
And he said unto her ,
Give me thy son .
And he took him out of her bosom ,
and carried him up into a loft ,
where he abode ,
and laid him upon his own bed .
*
And he cried unto the LORD ,
and said ,
O LORD my God ,
hast thou also brought evil upon the widow with whom I sojourn ,
by slaying her son ?
*
And he stretched himself upon the child three times pa #
am #,
and cried unto the LORD ,
and said ,
O LORD my God ,
I pray thee ,
let this childs soul come #
into him again .
*
And the LORD heard the voice of Elijah ;
and the soul of the child came #
into him again ,
and he revived .
*
And Elijah took the child ,
and brought him down out of the chamber into the house ,
and delivered him unto his mother :
and Elijah said ,
See ,
thy son liveth .
*
And the woman said to Elijah ,
Now by this I know that thou art a man of God ,
and that the word of the LORD in thy mouth is truth .
