7. And it came to be after a while that the stream dried up, because there had been no rain in the land.
8. Then the word of יהוה came to him, saying,
9. “Rise up, go to Tsarephath, which belongs to Tsiḏon, and dwell there. See, I have commanded a widow there to sustain you.”
10. And he rose up and went to Tsarephath, and came to the gate of the city and saw a widow there gathering sticks. And he called and said to her, “Please bring me a little water in a vessel to drink.”
11. And as she was going to get it, he called and said to her, “Please bring me a piece of bread in your hand.”
12. And she said, “As יהוה your Elohim lives, I do not have bread, only a handful of flour in a bin, and a little oil in a jar. And see, I am gathering a couple of sticks and shall go in and prepare it for myself and my son, and we shall eat it, and die.”
