* 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 .
