1 Kings 17 (WEBP)

[1] Elijah the Tishbite, who was one of the settlers of Gilead, said to Ahab, “As Yahweh, the God of Israel, lives, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, but according to my word.”
[2] Then Yahweh’s word came to him, saying,
[3] “Go away from here, turn eastward, and hide yourself by the brook Cherith, that is before the Jordan.
[4] You shall drink from the brook. I have commanded the ravens to feed you there.”
[5] So he went and did according to Yahweh’s word, for he went and lived by the brook Cherith that is before the Jordan.
[6] The ravens brought him bread and meat in the morning, and bread and meat in the evening; and he drank from the brook.
[7] After a while, the brook dried up, because there was no rain in the land.
[8] Yahweh’s word came to him, saying,
[9] “Arise, go to Zarephath, which belongs to Sidon, and stay there. Behold, I have commanded a widow there to sustain you.”
[10] So he arose and went to Zarephath; and when he came to the gate of the city, behold, a widow was there gathering sticks. He called to her and said, “Please get me a little water in a jar, that I may drink.”
[11] As she was going to get it, he called to her and said, “Please bring me a morsel of bread in your hand.”
[12] She said, “As Yahweh your God lives, I don’t have anything baked, but only a handful of meal in a jar and a little oil in a jar. Behold, I am gathering two sticks, that I may go in and bake it for me and my son, that we may eat it, and die.”
[13] Elijah said to her, “Don’t be afraid. Go and do as you have said; but make me a little cake from it first, and bring it out to me, and afterward make some for you and for your son.
[14] For Yahweh, the God of Israel, says, ‘The jar of meal will not run out, and the jar of oil will not fail, until the day that Yahweh sends rain on the earth.’ ”
[15] She went and did according to the saying of Elijah; and she, he, and her household ate many days.
[16] The jar of meal didn’t run out and the jar of oil didn’t fail, according to Yahweh’s word, which he spoke by Elijah.
[17] After these things, the son of the woman, the mistress of the house, became sick; and his sickness was so severe that there was no breath left in him.
[18] She said to Elijah, “What have I to do with you, you man of God? You have come to me to bring my sin to memory, and to kill my son!”
[19] He said to her, “Give me your son.” He took him out of her bosom, and carried him up into the room where he stayed, and laid him on his own bed.
[20] He cried to Yahweh and said, “Yahweh my God, have you also brought evil on the widow with whom I am staying, by killing her son?”
[21] He stretched himself on the child three times, and cried to Yahweh and said, “Yahweh my God, please let this child’s soul come into him again.”
[22] Yahweh listened to the voice of Elijah; and the soul of the child came into him again, and he revived.
[23] Elijah took the child and brought him down out of the room into the house, and delivered him to his mother; and Elijah said, “Behold, your son lives.”
[24] The woman said to Elijah, “Now I know that you are a man of God, and that Yahweh’s word in your mouth is truth.”

Young’s Literal Translation

1 Kings 17 (YLT)

[1] And Elijah the Tishbite, of the inhabitants of Gilead, saith unto Ahab, ‘Jehovah, God of Israel, liveth, before whom I have stood, there is not these years dew and rain, except according to my word.’
[2] And the word of Jehovah is unto him, saying,
[3] ‘Go from this place; and thou hast turned for thee eastward, and been hidden by the brook Cherith, that is on the front of the Jordan,
[4] and it hath been, from the brook thou dost drink, and the ravens I have commanded to sustain thee there.’
[5] And he goeth and doth according to the word of Jehovah, yea, he goeth and dwelleth by the brook Cherith, that is on the front of the Jordan,
[6] and the ravens are bringing to him bread and flesh in the morning, and bread and flesh in the evening, and of the brook he drinketh.
[7] And it cometh to pass, at the end of days, that the brook drieth up, for there hath been no rain in the land,
[8] and the word of Jehovah is unto him, saying,
[9] ‘Rise, go to Zarephath, that is to Zidon, and thou hast dwelt there; lo, I have commanded there a widow woman to sustain thee.’
[10] And he riseth, and goeth to Zarephath, and cometh in unto the opening of the city, and lo there, a widow woman gathering sticks, and he calleth unto her, and saith, ‘Bring, I pray thee, to me, a little water in a vessel, and I drink.’
[11] And she goeth to bring it, and he calleth unto her and saith, ‘Bring, I pray thee, to me a morsel of bread in thy hand.’
[12] And she saith, ‘Jehovah thy God liveth, I have not a cake, but the fulness of the hand of meal in a pitcher, and a little oil in a dish; and lo, I am gathering two sticks, and have gone in and prepared it for myself, and for my son, and we have eaten it-and died.’
[13] And Elijah saith unto her, ‘Fear not, go, do according to thy word, only make for me thence a little cake, in the first place, and thou hast brought out to me; and for thee and for thy son make-last;
[14] for thus said Jehovah, God of Israel, The pitcher of meal is not consumed, and the dish of oil is not lacking, till the day of Jehovah’s giving a shower on the face of the ground.’
[15] And she goeth, and doth according to the word of Elijah, and she eateth, she and he, and her household-days;
[16] the pitcher of meal was not consumed, and the dish of oil did not lack, according to the word of Jehovah that He spake by the hand of Elijah.
[17] And it cometh to pass, after these things, the son of the woman, mistress of the house, hath been sick, and his sickness is very severe till that no breath hath been left in him.
[18] And she saith unto Elijah, ‘What-to me and to thee, O man of God? thou hast come unto me to cause mine iniquity to be remembered, and to put my son to death!’
[19] And he saith unto her, ‘Give to me thy son;’ and he taketh him out of her bosom, and taketh him up unto the upper chamber where he is abiding, and layeth him on his own bed,
[20] and crieth unto Jehovah, and saith, ‘Jehovah my God, also on the widow with whom I am sojourning hast Thou done evil-to put her son to death?’
[21] And he stretcheth himself out on the lad three times, and calleth unto Jehovah, and saith, ‘O Jehovah my God, let turn back, I pray Thee, the soul of this lad into his midst;’
[22] and Jehovah hearkeneth to the voice of Elijah, and the soul of the lad turneth back into his midst, and he liveth.
[23] And Elijah taketh the lad, and bringeth him down from the upper chamber of the house, and giveth him to his mother, and Elijah saith, ‘See, thy son liveth!’
[24] And the woman saith unto Elijah, ‘Now, this I have known, that a man of God thou art, and the word of Jehovah in thy mouth is truth.’
