*
Then the word of the LORD came to him ,
saying ,
* "
Arise ,
go to Zarephath ,
which belongs to Sidon ,
and dwell there .
See ,
I have commanded a widow there to provide for you ."
*
So he arose and went to Zarephath .
And when he came to the gate of the city ,
indeed a widow was there gathering sticks .
And he called to her and said , "
Please bring me a little water in a cup ,
that I may drink ."
*
And as she was going to get it ,
he called to her and said , "
Please bring me a morsel of bread in your hand ."
*
So she said , "
As the LORD your God lives ,
I do not have bread ,
only a handful of flour in a bin ,
and a little oil in a jar ;
and see ,
I am gathering a couple of sticks that I may go in and prepare it for myself and my son ,
that we may eat it ,
and die ."
*
And Elijah said to her , "
Do not fear ;
go and do as you have said ,
but make me a small cake from it first ,
and bring it to me ;
and afterward make some for yourself and your son .
*
For thus says the LORD God of Israel : "
The bin of flour shall not be used up ,
nor shall the jar of oil run dry ,
until the day the LORD sends rain on the earth ."'
*
So she went away and did according to the word of Elijah ;
and she and he and her household ate for many days .
*
The bin of flour was not used up ,
nor did the jar of oil run dry ,
according to the word of the LORD which He spoke by Elijah .
