Melachim Alef 17:8-15

Melachim Alef 17:8-15 TOJB2011

And the Devar HASHEM came unto him, saying, Arise, get thee to Tzarphat, which belongeth to Tzidon, and dwell there; hinei, I have commanded an isha almanah there to sustain thee. So he arose and went to Tzarphat. And when he came to the gate of the ir, hinei, the isha almanah was there gathering sticks; and he called to her, and said, Bring me a little mayim in a vessel, that I may drink. And as she was going to get it, he called to her, and said, Bring me a morsel of lechem in thine hand. And she said, As HASHEM Eloheicha liveth, I have nothing baked, but an handful of meal in a pot, and a little shemen in a jug; and, see, I am gathering two sticks, that I may go in, cook it for me and beni, that we may eat it, and die. 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. 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. And she went and did according to the Devar of Eliyahu; and she, and he, and her bais, did eat [many] yamim.
