11 As she was going to fetch it, he called to her and said, "Please bring me a piece of bread in your hand as well."
12 But she replied, "As the LORD your God lives, I have nothing baked. I only have a handful of flour in a jar and a little oil in a jug. I am gathering a couple of sticks to go and prepare it for myself and my son so we may eat it and then die."
