1 Kings 17:12

Elijah And The Widow

¹¹ She went to fetch [it], and he called to her and said, "Please bring me a morsel of bread in your hand." ¹² She said, "{As Yahweh your God lives}, surely I do not have a cake, {but only a handful of flour} in the jar and a little olive oil in the jug. Here I [am] gathering a few pieces of wood, and I will go and prepare it for me and my son, that we might eat it and die." ¹³ Elijah said to her, "Don't be afraid. Go and do according to your word; only make for me a small bread cake from it first, and bring it out to me. Make it for yourself and for your son afterward.
