Chapter 17
8
Then the word of the
Lord
came to him, saying,
9
Arise, go to Zarephath, which belongs to Sidon, and stay there; behold, I have commanded a widow there to provide food for you.'
10
So he arose and went to Zarephath, and when he came to the entrance of the city, behold, a widow was there gathering sticks; and he called to her and said, 'Please get me a little water in a cup, so that I may drink.'
11
As she was going to get
it,
he called to her and said, 'Please bring me a piece of bread in your hand.'
12
But she said, 'As the
Lord
your God lives, I have no food, only a handful of flour in the bowl and a little oil in the jar; and behold, I am gathering a few sticks so that I may go in and prepare it for me and my son, so that we may eat it and die.'
13
However, Elijah said to her, 'Do not fear; go, do as you have said. Just make me a little bread loaf from it first and bring
it
out to me, and afterward you may make
one
for yourself and for your son.
King James Version
Chapter 17
8
And the word of the
Lord
came unto him, saying,
9
Arise, get thee to Zarephath, which belongeth to Zidon, and dwell there: behold, I have commanded a widow woman there to sustain thee.
10
So he arose and went to Zarephath. And when he came to the gate of the city, behold, the widow woman was there gathering of sticks: and he called to her, and said, Fetch me, I pray thee, a little water in a vessel, that I may drink.
11
And as she was going to fetch it, he called to her, and said, Bring me, I pray thee, a morsel of bread in thine hand.
12
And she said, As the
Lord
thy God liveth, I have not a cake, but an handful of meal in a barrel, and a little oil in a cruse: and, behold, I am gathering two sticks, that I may go in and dress it for me and my son, that we may eat it, and die.
13
And Elijah said unto her, Fear not; go and do as thou hast said: but make me thereof a little cake first, and bring it unto me, and after make for thee and for thy son.

8
Then the word of the
Lord
came to him:
9
"Get up, go to Zarephath that belongs to Sidon and stay there. Look, I have commanded a woman who is a widow to provide for you there."
10
So Elijah got up and went to Zarephath. When he arrived at the city gate, there was a widow gathering wood. Elijah called to her and said, "Please bring me a little water in a cup and let me drink."
11
As she went to get it, he called to her and said, "Please bring me a piece of bread in your hand."
12
But she said, "As the
Lord
your God lives, I don’t have anything baked—only a handful of flour in the jar and a bit of oil in the jug. Just now, I am gathering a couple of sticks in order to go prepare it for myself and my son so we can eat it and die."
13
Then Elijah said to her, "Don’t be afraid; go and do as you have said. But first make me a small loaf from it and bring it out to me. Afterward, you may make some for yourself and your son,

8
Then the
Lord
said to Elijah,
9
Go and live in the village of Zarephath, near the city of Sidon. I have instructed a widow there to feed you.'
10
So he went to Zarephath. As he arrived at the gates of the village, he saw a widow gathering sticks, and he asked her, 'Would you please bring me a little water in a cup?'
11
As she was going to get it, he called to her, 'Bring me a bite of bread, too.'
12
But she said, 'I swear by the
Lord
your God that I don’t have a single piece of bread in the house. And I have only a handful of flour left in the jar and a little cooking oil in the bottom of the jug. I was just gathering a few sticks to cook this last meal, and then my son and I will die.'
13
But Elijah said to her, 'Don’t be afraid! Go ahead and do just what you’ve said, but make a little bread for me first. Then use what’s left to prepare a meal for yourself and your son.

8
Then the word of the
Lord
came to him:
9
"Go at once to Zarephath in the region of Sidon and stay there. I have directed a widow there to supply you with food."
10
So he went to Zarephath. When he came to the town gate, a widow was there gathering sticks. He called to her and asked, "Would you bring me a little water in a jar so I may have a drink?"
11
As she was going to get it, he called, "And bring me, please, a piece of bread."
12
"As surely as the
Lord
your God lives," she replied, "I don’t have any bread—only a handful of flour in a jar and a little olive oil in a jug. I am gathering a few sticks to take home and make a meal for myself and my son, that we may eat it—and die."
13
Elijah said to her, "Don’t be afraid. Go home and do as you have said. But first make a small loaf of bread for me from what you have and bring it to me, and then make something for yourself and your son.

am
gathering a couple of sticks that I may go in and prepare it for myself and my son, that we may eat it, and die.”
13
And Elijah said to her, “Do not fear; go
and
do as you have said, but make me a small cake from it first, and bring
