4. You can drink from the stream, and I’ve commanded ravens to feed you there.”
5. Elijah left and did what the word of the Lord ⌊had told him⌋. He went to live by the Cherith River, which is east of the Jordan River.
6. Ravens brought him bread and meat in the morning and in the evening. And he drank from the stream.
7. But after some time the stream dried up because no rain had fallen in the land.
8. Then the Lord spoke his word to Elijah:
9. “Get up, go to Zarephath (which belongs to Sidon), and stay there. I’ve commanded a widow there to feed you.”
