Melachim Alef 17:13-23 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

13. And Eliyahu said unto her, Fear not; go and do as thou hast said; but make me thereof a little loaf first, and bring it unto me, and after that make for thee and for thy ben.

14. For thus saith Hashem Elohei Yisroel, The pot of meal shall not be used up, neither shall the jug of shemen fail, until the Yom that Hashem sendeth geshem upon ha'adamah.

15. And she went and did according to the Devar of Eliyahu; and she, and he, and her bais, did eat [many] yamim.

16. And the pot of meal was not used up, neither did the jug of shemen fail, according to the Devar Hashem, which he spoke by Eliyahu.

17. And it came to pass after these things, that the ben haisha the ba'alat habais, became choleh; and his sickness was so severe, that there was no nashamah left in him.

18. And she said unto Eliyahu, Mah li valach (what have I to do with thee), Ish HaElohim? Art thou come unto me to remind me of my avon, and to slay beni?

19. And he said unto her, Give me thy ben. And he took him out of her kheyk, and carried him up into the aliyyah (upper room), where he abode, and laid him upon his own mittah (bed).

20. And he cried out unto Hashem, and said, Hashem Elohai, hast thou even brought evil upon the almanah with whom I sojourn, by slaying her ben?

21. And he stretched himself upon the yeled shalosh p'amim, and cried out unto Hashem, and said, Hashem Elohai, let this yeled's nefesh return to him again.

22. And Hashem heard the voice of Eliyahu; and the nefesh of the yeled returned to him again, and he came alive.

23. And Eliyahu took the yeled, and brought him down out of the aliyyah into the bais, and delivered him unto his em; and Eliyahu said, Look! Thy ben liveth.
