1 Kings 17:9-16

9AriseH6965, goH3212 to ZarephathH6886, which belongeth to ZidonH6721, and dwellH3427 there: behold, I have commandedH6680 a widowH490 womanH802 there to sustainH3557 thee.1 10So he aroseH6965 and wentH3212 to ZarephathH6886. And when he cameH935 to the gateH6607 of the cityH5892, behold, the widowH490 womanH802 was there gatheringH7197 sticksH6086: and he calledH7121 to her, and saidH559, BringH3947 me, I pray thee, a littleH4592 waterH4325 in a vesselH3627, that I may drinkH8354. 11And as she was goingH3212 to bringH3947 it, he calledH7121 to her, and saidH559, BringH3947 me, I pray thee, a morselH6595 of breadH3899 in thy handH3027. 12And she saidH559, As the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 livethH2416, I haveH3426 not a cakeH4580, but an handfulH4393H3709 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 prepareH6213 it for me and my sonH1121, that we may eatH398 it, and dieH4191. 13And ElijahH452 saidH559 to her, FearH3372 not; goH935 and doH6213 as thou hast saidH1697: but makeH6213 me of itH8033 a littleH6996 cakeH5692 firstH7223, and bringH3318 it to me, and afterwardH314 makeH6213 for thee and for thy sonH1121. 14For thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478, The barrelH3537 of mealH7058 shall not be used upH3615, neither shall the cruseH6835 of oilH8081 failH2637, until the dayH3117 that the LORDH3068 sendethH5414 rainH1653 uponH6440 the earthH127.2 15And she wentH3212 and didH6213 according to the sayingH1697 of ElijahH452: and she, and he, and her houseH1004, ateH398 many daysH3117.3 16And the barrelH3537 of mealH7058 was not used upH3615, neither did the cruseH6835 of oilH8081 failH2638, according to the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068, which he spokeH1696 byH3027 ElijahH452.4
