1 Kings 17:10–15

¹⁰So he arose and went to Zarephath, and when he came to the gate of the city, behold, a widow was there gathering sticks; and ^ahe called to her and said, “Please get me a little water in a ¹jar, that I may drink.”

¹¹So she went to get it, and he called to her and said, “Please get me a piece of bread in your hand.”

¹²But she said, “^aAs Yahweh your God lives, ^bI have no ¹bread, only a handful of flour in the ²bowl and a little oil in the jar; and behold, I am gathering ³a few sticks that I may go in and prepare for me and my son, that we may eat it and ^cdie.”

¹³Then Elijah said to her, “Do not fear; go, do as you have said, but make me a little bread cake from ¹it first and bring it out to me, and afterward you may make one for yourself and for your son.

¹⁴“For thus says Yahweh, the God of Israel, ‘The ¹bowl of flour shall not be exhausted, nor shall the jar of oil ²be empty, until the day that Yahweh sends rain on the face of the earth.’”

¹⁵So she went and did according to the word of Elijah, and she and he and her household ate for many days.
