    4Drink from the stream; I have already told the ravens to bring you food there.”

    5So he carried out the LORD’s message; he went and lived in the Kerith Valley near the Jordan.

    6The ravens would bring him bread and meat each morning and evening, and he would drink from the stream.

    7After a while, the stream dried up because there had been no rain in the land.

    8The LORD’s message came to him,

    9“Get up, go to Zarephath in Sidonian territory, and live there. I have already told a widow who lives there to provide for you.”

    10So he got up and went to Zarephath. When he went through the city gate, there was a widow gathering wood. He called out to her,“Please give me a little water in a cup, so I can take a drink.”

    11As she went to get it, he called out to her,“Please bring me a piece of bread.”

    12She said,“As certainly as the LORD your God lives, I have no food, except for a handful of flour in a jar and a little olive oil in a jug. Right now I am gathering a couple of sticks for a fire. Then I’m going home to make one final meal for my son and myself. After we have eaten that, we will die of starvation.”

    13Elijah said to her,“Don’t be afraid. Go and do as you planned. But first make me a small cake and bring it to me; then make something for yourself and your son.

    14For this is what the LORD God of Israel has said,‘The jar of flour will not be empty and the jug of oil will not run out until the day the LORD makes it rain on the surface of the ground.’”

    2Elisha said to her,“What can I do for you? Tell me, what do you have in the house?” She answered,“Your servant has nothing in the house except a small jar of olive oil.”

    4Go and close the door behind you and your sons. Pour the olive oil into all the containers; set aside each one when you have filled it.”

    5So she left him and closed the door behind her and her sons. As they were bringing the containers to her, she was pouring the olive oil.

    6When the containers were full, she said to one of her sons,“Bring me another container.” But he answered her,“There are no more.” Then the olive oil stopped flowing.
