    10So he arose and went to Zarephath. And when he came to the gate of the city, behold, the widow was there gathering sticks: and he called to her, and said, Please, bring me a little water in a vessel, that I may drink.

    11And as she was going to fetch it, he called to her, and said, Please, bring me a morsel of bread in your hand.

    12And she said, As the LORD your God lives, I do not have a cake, but only a handful of meal in a barrel, and a little oil in a jar: and behold, I am gathering two sticks, that I may go in and prepare it for me and my son, that we may eat it, and die.

    13And Elijah said to her, Fear not; go and do as you have said: but make a little cake for me first, and bring it to me, and afterward, make some for you and your son.

    16And the barrel of meal did not waste, nor did the jar of oil fail, according to the word of the LORD, which He spoke by Elijah.
