Legacy Standard Bible

⁸ Then the word of Yahweh came to him, saying, ⁹ “Arise, go to ^(A)Zarephath, which belongs to Sidon, and remain there; behold, ^(B)I have commanded a widow there to sustain you.” ¹⁰ So he arose and went to Zarephath, and when he came to the gate of the city, behold, a widow was there gathering sticks; and ^(C)he called to her and said, “Please get me a little water in a ^[a]jar, that I may drink.” ¹¹ So she went to get it, and he called to her and said, “Please get me a piece of bread in your hand.” ¹² But she said, “^(D)As Yahweh your God lives, ^(E)I have no ^[b]bread, only a handful of flour in the ^[c]bowl and a little oil in the jar; and behold, I am gathering ^[d]a few sticks that I may go in and prepare for me and my son, that we may eat it and ^(F)die.” ¹³ Then Elijah said to her, “Do not fear; go, do as you have said, but make me a little bread cake from ^[e]it 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 ^[f]bowl of flour shall not be exhausted, nor shall the jar of oil ^[g]be empty, until the day that Yahweh sends rain on the face of the earth.’” ¹⁵ So she went and did according to the word of Elijah, and she and he and her household ate for many days. ¹⁶ The ^[h]bowl of flour was not exhausted nor did the jar of oil ^[i]become empty, according to the word of Yahweh which He spoke by the hand of Elijah.
