1 And Elijah the Tishbite, of the inhabitants of Gilead, said to Ahab, As Jehovah the God of Israel liveth, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, except by my word.
1
Now Elijah the Tishbite, from Tishbe in Gilead, said to Ahab, “As the LORD, the God of Israel, lives, whom I serve, there will be neither dew nor rain in the next few years except at my word.”
2 And the word of Jehovah came to him saying,
2
Then the word of the LORD came to Elijah:
3 Get thee hence, and turn thee eastward, and hide thyself by the torrent Cherith, which is before the Jordan.
3
“Leave here, turn eastward and hide in the Kerith Ravine, east of the Jordan.
4 And it shall be, that thou shalt drink of the torrent; and I have commanded the ravens to feed thee there.
4
You will drink from the brook, and I have directed the ravens to supply you with food there.”
5 And he went and did according to the word of Jehovah; he went and abode by the torrent Cherith, which is before the Jordan.
5
So he did what the LORD had told him. He went to the Kerith Ravine, east of the Jordan, and stayed there.
6 And the ravens brought him bread and flesh in the morning, and bread and flesh in the evening; and he drank of the torrent.
6
The ravens brought him bread and meat in the morning and bread and meat in the evening, and he drank from the brook.
