1 Kings 17:8-16

8Then the word of Yahweh came to him, saying, 9Arise, go to aZarephath, which belongs to Sidon, and remain there; behold, bI have commanded a widow there to sustain you.” 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. 14For 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. 16The 1bowl of flour was not exhausted nor did the jar of oil 2become empty, according to the word of Yahweh which He spoke by the hand of Elijah.
