כְּרִית

(chee' rihth) Place name meaning, “cutting” or “ditch.” A wadi or brook east of the Jordan River, the modern wadi Qilt south of Jericho. Elijah pronounced God's judgment in the form of a two-year drought and then found God's protection at the Cherith, where he had water to drink (1 Kings 17:3 ). When Cherith finally went dry, he found refuge with the widow of Zarephath.
