- 8. Unison Scripture Reading: 1 Kings 17:8-16 (NKJV) 8Then the word of the Lord came to him, saying, 9‚Arise, go to Zarephath, which belongs to Sidon, and dwell there. See, I have commanded a widow there to provide for you.‛ 10So he arose and went to Zarephath. And when he came to the gate of the city, indeed a widow was there gathering sticks. And he called to her and said, ‚Please bring me a little water in a cup, that I may drink.‛ 1
- 9. 11And as she was going to get it, he called to her and said, ‚Please bring me a morsel of bread in your hand.‛ 12So she said, ‚As the Lord your God lives, I do not have bread, only a handful of flour in a bin, and a little oil in a jar; and see, I am gathering a couple of sticks that I may go in and prepare it for myself and my son, that we may eat it, and die.‛ 13And Elijah said to her, ‚Do not fear; go and do as you have said, but make me a small cake from it first, and bring it to me; and afterward make some for yourself and your son
- 10. 14For thus says the Lord God of Israel: ‘The bin of flour shall not be used up, nor shall the jar of oil run dry, until the day the Lord sends rain on the earth.’‛ 15So she went away and did according to the word of Elijah; and she and he and her household ate for many days. 16The bin of flour was not used up, nor did the jar of oil run dry, according to the word of the Lord which He spoke by Elijah.
