1 Kings 17
1 Elijah was [a prophet] who lived in Tishbe [town] in [the] Gilead [region]. One day he [went to] King Ahab and said to him, “Yahweh is the God whom we Israelis [worship] and the God whom I worship and serve. Just as certainly as Yahweh lives, there will be no dew or rain for the next few years, if I do not command rain to fall!”
and to say Elijah [the] Tishbite from sojourner Gilead to(wards) Ahab alive LORD God Israel which to stand: stand to/for face: before his if: surely no to be [the] year [the] these dew and rain that if: except if: except to/for lip: word word my
2 Then Yahweh said to Elijah,
and to be word LORD to(wards) him to/for to say
3 “[Because you have made the king angry with you, escape from the king and, ] go to the east, to the Kerith Brook, east of where it flows into the Jordan [River].
to go: went from this and to turn to/for you east [to] and to hide in/on/with torrent: river Cherith which upon face: east [the] Jordan
4 You will be able to drink water from the brook, and [you will be able to eat what] the crows [bring to you, because] I have commanded them to bring food to you.”
and to be from [the] torrent: river to drink and [obj] [the] raven to command to/for to sustain you there
5 So Elijah did what Yahweh commanded him to do. He went and camped alongside Kerith Brook.
and to go: went and to make: do like/as word LORD and to go: went and to dwell in/on/with torrent: river Cherith which upon face: east [the] Jordan
6 Crows bought bread and meat to him every morning and every evening, and he drank [water] from the brook.
and [the] raven to come (in): bring to/for him food: bread and flesh in/on/with morning and food: bread and flesh in/on/with evening and from [the] torrent: river to drink
7 But after a while, the water in the brook dried up, because rain did not fall anywhere in the land.
and to be from end day and to wither [the] torrent: river for not to be rain in/on/with land: country/planet
8 Then Yahweh said to Elijah,
and to be word LORD to(wards) him to/for to say
9 “Go and live in Zarephath [village], near Sidon [city]. There is a widow there who will give you food to eat. I have [already] told her what to do about that.”
to arise: rise to go: went Zarephath [to] which to/for Sidon and to dwell there behold to command there woman: wife widow to/for to sustain you
10 So [Elijah did what God said]. He went to Zarephath. As he arrived at the gates of the village, he saw a widow who was gathering sticks. He said to her, “Would you please bring me a cup of water?”
and to arise: rise and to go: went Zarephath [to] and to come (in): come to(wards) entrance [the] city and behold there woman: wife widow to gather tree: stick and to call: call to to(wards) her and to say to take: bring please to/for me little water in/on/with article/utensil and to drink
11 While she was going to get it, he called out to her, “Bring me a piece of bread, too!”
and to go: went to/for to take: bring and to call: call to to(wards) her and to say to take: bring please to/for me morsel food: bread in/on/with hand your
12 But she replied, “Your God knows that what I am telling you is true: I do not have even one piece of bread in my house. I have only a handful of flour in a jar, and a little [olive] oil in a jug. I was gathering a few sticks to use these to [make a fire and] cook one more meal, and then after my son and I eat that, we will die [from hunger].”
and to say alive LORD God your if: surely no there to/for me bun that if: except if: except fullness palm flour in/on/with jar and little oil in/on/with jar and look! I to gather two tree: stick and to come (in): come and to make him to/for me and to/for son: child my and to eat him and to die
13 But Elijah said to her, “Do not be worried! Go home and do what you said that you were going to do. But first, bake me a little loaf of bread and bring it to me. After you do that, take what is left and prepare some food for you and your son.
and to say to(wards) her Elijah not to fear to come (in): come to make: do like/as word: speaking your surely to make to/for me from there bun small in/on/with first and to come out: send to/for me and to/for you and to/for son: child your to make in/on/with last
14 [I know that you will be able to do that, ] because Yahweh, the God whom we Israelis [worship], says this: ‘There will always be plenty of flour and [olive] oil left in your containers, until the time when I send rain again [and the crops grow again]!’”
for thus to say LORD God Israel jar [the] flour not to end: expend and jar [the] oil not to lack till day (to give: give *Q(k)*) LORD rain upon face: surface [the] land: country
15 So the woman did exactly what Elijah told her to do. And she and her son and Elijah had enough food every day,
and to go: went and to make: do like/as word: speaking Elijah and to eat (he/she/it and he/she/it *Q(K)*) and house: household her day
16 because the flour in the jar was never finished, and the jug of oil was never empty. That happened just like Yahweh had told Elijah that it would happen.
jar [the] flour not to end: expend and jar [the] oil not to lack like/as word LORD which to speak: speak in/on/with hand: by Elijah
17 Some time later, the woman’s son became sick. He continued to get worse, and finally he died.
and to be after [the] word: thing [the] these be weak: ill son: child [the] woman mistress [the] house: household and to be sickness his strong much till which not to remain in/on/with him breath
18 So the woman went to Elijah and said to him, “You are a prophet; so why have you done this to me? Have you come here to punish me for my sins by causing my son to die?”
and to say to(wards) Elijah what? to/for me and to/for you man [the] God to come (in): come to(wards) me to/for to remember [obj] iniquity: crime my and to/for to die [obj] son: child my
19 But Elijah replied, “Give your son to me.” So she gave her son to him, and he took the boy’s [body] from her and carried it up [the steps] to the room where he stayed. He laid the boy’s [body] on his bed.
and to say to(wards) her to give: give to/for me [obj] son: child your and to take: take him from bosom: embrace her and to ascend: establish him to(wards) [the] upper room which he/she/it to dwell there and to lie down: lay down him upon bed his
20 Then Elijah cried out to Yahweh, “O Yahweh my God, this widow [has kindly allowed] me to stay in her home. So why have you brought this tragedy to her and caused her son to die?” [RHQ]
and to call: call to to(wards) LORD and to say LORD God my also upon [the] widow which I to sojourn with her be evil to/for to die [obj] son: child her
21 Then Elijah stretched himself on top of the boy’s [body] and called out to Yahweh saying, “Yahweh my God, please allow this boy to become alive again!” He did this three times.
and to measure upon [the] youth three beat and to call: call to to(wards) LORD and to say LORD God my to return: return please soul: life [the] youth [the] this upon entrails: among his
22 Yahweh heard what Elijah prayed, and [he caused] the boy [to] become alive again [DOU].
and to hear: hear LORD in/on/with voice Elijah and to return: return soul: life [the] youth upon entrails: among his and to live
23 Elijah carried the boy down [the steps] and gave him to his mother. He said, “Look, your son is alive!”

24 The woman said to Elijah, “Now I know [for certain] that you are a prophet and that the words that you speak are truly from Yahweh!”
and to say [the] woman to(wards) Elijah now this to know for man God you(m. s.) and word LORD in/on/with lip your truth: true
