1 Kings 17:12-16

12And she saidH559, As YhwhH3068 thy GodH430 livethH2416, I haveH3426 not a cakeH4580, but an handfulH3709H4393 of mealH7058 in a barrelH3537, and a littleH4592 oilH8081 in a cruseH6835: and, behold, I am gatheringH7197 twoH8147 sticksH6086, that I may go inH935 and dressH6213 it for me and my sonH1121, that we may eatH398 it, and dieH4191.

13And ElijahH452 saidH559 unto her, FearH3372 not; goH935 and doH6213 as thou hast saidH1697: but makeH6213 me thereofH8033 a littleH6996 cakeH5692 firstH7223, and bringH3318 it unto me, and afterH314 makeH6213 for thee and for thy sonH1121.

14For thus saithH559 YhwhH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478, The barrelH3537 of mealH7058 shall not wasteH3615, neither shall the cruseH6835 of oilH8081 failH2637, until the dayH3117 that YhwhH3068 sendethH5414 rainH1653 uponH6440 the earthH127.1

15And she wentH3212 and didH6213 according to the sayingH1697 of ElijahH452: and she, and he, and her houseH1004, did eatH398 many daysH3117.2

16And the barrelH3537 of mealH7058 wastedH3615 not, neither did the cruseH6835 of oilH8081 failH2638, according to the wordH1697 of YhwhH3068, which he spakeH1696 byH3027 ElijahH452.3
