    5So he went and did according unto the word of Jehovah; for he went and dwelt by the brook Cherith, that is before the Jordan.

    7And it came to pass after a while, that the brook dried up, because there was no rain in the land.

    8And the word of Jehovah came unto him, saying,

    9Arise, get thee to Zarephath, which belongeth to Sidon, and dwell there: behold, I have commanded a widow there to sustain thee.

    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 he called to her, and said, Fetch me, I pray thee, a little water in a vessel, that I may drink.

    11And as she was going to fetch it, he called to her, and said, Bring me, I pray thee, a morsel of bread in thy hand.

    12And she said, As Jehovah thy God liveth, I have not a cake, but a handful of meal in the jar, and a little oil in the cruse: and, behold, I am gathering two sticks, that I may go in and dress it for me and my son, that we may eat it, and die.

    13And Elijah said unto her, Fear not; go and do as thou hast said; but make me thereof a little cake first, and bring it forth unto me, and afterward make for thee and for thy son.

    14For thus saith Jehovah, the God of Israel, The jar of meal shall not waste, neither shall the cruse of oil fail, until the day that Jehovah sendeth rain upon the earth.

    15And she went and did according to the saying of Elijah: and she, and he, and her house, did eat [many] days.

    2And Elisha said unto her, What shall I do for thee? tell me; what hast thou in the house? And she said, Thy handmaid hath not anything in the house, save a pot of oil.

    3Then he said, Go, borrow thee vessels abroad of all thy neighbors, even empty vessels; borrow not a few.

    4And thou shalt go in, and shut the door upon thee and upon thy sons, and pour out into all those vessels; and thou shalt set aside that which is full.

    5So she went from him, and shut the door upon her and upon her sons; they brought [the vessels] to her, and she poured out.

    6And it came to pass, when the vessels were full, that she said unto her son, Bring me yet a vessel. And he said unto her, There is not a vessel more. And the oil stayed.

    7Then she came and told the man of God. And he said, Go, sell the oil, and pay thy debt, and live thou and thy sons of the rest.
