1 Kings 17:10-13

10So he aroseH6965 and wentH1980 to ZarephathH6886, and when he cameH935 to the entranceH6607 of the cityH5892, beholdH2009, a widowH802H490 was thereH8033 gatheringH7197 sticksH6086; and 1he calledH7121 to her and saidH559, “PleaseH4994 getH3947 me a littleH4592 waterH4325 in a 2cupH3627, so that I may drinkH8354.”

11As she was goingH1980 to getH3947 it, he calledH7121 to her and saidH559, “PleaseH4994 bringH3947 me a pieceH6595 of breadH3899 in your handH3027.”

12But she saidH559, “3As the LordH3068 your GodH430 livesH2416, 4I haveH3426 noH518 foodH4580, onlyH3588H518 a handfulH4393H3709 of flourH7058 in the 5bowlH3537 and a littleH4592 oilH8081 in the jarH6835; and beholdH2009, I am gatheringH7197 6a fewH8147 sticksH6086 so that I may goH935 inH935 and prepareH6213 it for me and my sonH1121, so that we may 7eatH398 it and 8dieH4191.”

13However, ElijahH452 saidH559 to her, “Do not fearH3372; goH935, doH6213 as you have saidH1697. JustH389 makeH6213 me a littleH6996 breadH5692 loafH5692 from 9it firstH7223 and bringH3318 it outH3318 to me, and afterwardH314 you may makeH6213 one for yourself and for your sonH1121.
