Thematic Bible: The widow of zarephath


Thematic Bible



But Elijah told her, "You can stop being afraid. Go and do what you said, but first make me a muffin and bring it to me. Then make a meal for yourself and for your son,

So she went out and did precisely what Elijah told her to do. As a result, Elijah, the widow, and her son were fed for days.


"As the LORD your God lives," she replied, "I don't have so much as a muffin, just a handful of flour in a bowl and some oil left in a bottle. Now I'm going to find some sticks so I can cook a last meal for my son and for me. Then we're going to eat it and die."


But Elijah told her, "You can stop being afraid. Go and do what you said, but first make me a muffin and bring it to me. Then make a meal for yourself and for your son,

So she went out and did precisely what Elijah told her to do. As a result, Elijah, the widow, and her son were fed for days.
