13And Eliiah said vnto her, Feare not, goe, and doe as thou hast said: but make mee thereof a little cake first, and bring it vnto mee, and after make for thee, and for thy sonne.
14For thus saith the LORD God of Israel, The barrell of meale shall not waste, neither shall the cruse of oile faile, vntill the day that the LORD †sendeth raine vpon the earth.
15And shee went, and did according to the saying of Eliiah: and she, and he, and her house did eate ‖ many dayes.
