1 Re 17:7 In-Context

5 Egli dunque partì, e fece secondo la parola dell’Eterno: andò, e si stabilì presso il torrente Kerith, che è dirimpetto al Giordano.
6 E i corvi gli portavano del pane e della carne la mattina, e del pane e della carne la sera; e beveva al torrente.
7 Ma di lì a qualche tempo il torrente rimase asciutto, perché non veniva pioggia sul paese.
8 Allora la parola dell’Eterno gli fu rivolta in questi termini:
9 "Lèvati, va a Sarepta de’ Sidoni, e fa’ quivi la tua dimora; ecco, io ho ordinato colà ad una vedova che ti dia da mangiare".
