1. And Ěliyahu the Tishbite, of the inhabitants of Gil‛aḏ, said to Aḥaḇ, “As יהוה Elohim of Yisra’ĕl lives, before whom I stand, there shall be no dew or rain these years, except at my word.”
2. And the word of יהוה came to him, saying,
3. “Go away from here and turn eastward, and hide by the wadi Kerith, which flows into the Yardĕn.
4. “And it shall be that you drink from the stream, and I shall command the ravens to feed you there.”
5. And he went and did according to the word of יהוה, for he went and dwelt by the wadi Kerith, which flows into the Yardĕn.
6. And the ravens brought him bread and meat in the morning, and bread and meat in the evening, and he drank from the stream.
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.”
