Contextual Overview

¹ Then said Elijah the Tishbite, of Tishbe in Gilead, unto Ahab, By the life of Yahweh, God of Israel, before whom I stand, there shall not, these two years, be either dew or rain, - save at the bidding of my word. ² Then came the word of Yahweh unto him, saying: ³ Get thee hence, and turn thee eastward, - and hide thyself in the ravine of Cherith, which faceth the Jordan; ⁴ and it shall be that, of the torrent, shalt thou drink, - and, the ravens, have I commanded to sustain thee, there. ⁵ So he went and did, according to the word of Yahweh, - yea he went and dwelt in the ravine of Cherith, which faceth the Jordan. ⁶ And, the ravens, used to bring him bread and flesh, in the morning, and bread and flesh, in the evening, - and, of the torrent, used he to drink. ⁷ But it came to pass, at the end of certain days, that the torrent dried up, - because there had been no rain in the land.
