- 1And Elijah the Tishbite, who was of the inhabitants of Gilead, said unto Ahab, As the LORD God of Israel liveth, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, but according to my word.וַיֹּאמֶר֩ אֵלִיָּ֨הוּ הַתִּשְׁבִּ֜י מִתֹּשָׁבֵ֣י גִלְעָד֮ אֶל אַחְאָב֒ חַי יְהוָ֞ה אֱלֹהֵ֤י יִשְׂרָאֵל֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר עָמַ֣דְתִּי לְפָנָ֔יו אִם יִהְיֶ֛ה הַשָּׁנִ֥ים הָאֵ֖לֶּה טַ֣ל וּמָטָ֑ר כִּ֖י אִם לְפִ֥י דְבָרִֽי
- 2And the word of the LORD came unto him, saying,וַיְהִ֥י דְבַר יְהוָ֖ה אֵלָ֥יו לֵאמֹֽר
- 3Get thee hence, and turn thee eastward, and hide thyself by the brook Cherith, that is before Jordan.לֵ֣ךְ מִזֶּ֔ה וּפָנִ֥יתָ קֵ֑דְמָה וְנִסְתַּרְתָּ֙ בְּנַ֣חַל כְּרִ֔ית אֲשֶׁ֖ר עַל פְּנֵ֥י הַיַּרְדֵּֽן
- 4And it shall be, that thou shalt drink of the brook; and I have commanded the ravens to feed thee there.וְהָיָ֖ה מֵהַנַּ֣חַל תִּשְׁתֶּ֑ה וְאֶת הָעֹרְבִ֣ים צִוִּ֔יתִי לְכַלְכֶּלְךָ֖ שָֽׁם
- 5So he went and did according unto the word of the LORD: for he went and dwelt by the brook Cherith, that is before Jordan.וַיֵּ֥לֶךְ וַיַּ֖עַשׂ כִּדְבַ֣ר יְהוָ֑ה וַיֵּ֗לֶךְ וַיֵּ֨שֶׁב֙ בְּנַ֣חַל כְּרִ֔ית אֲשֶׁ֖ר עַל פְּנֵ֥י הַיַּרְדֵּֽן
- 6And the ravens brought him bread and flesh in the morning, and bread and flesh in the evening; and he drank of the brook.וְהָעֹרְבִ֗ים מְבִיאִ֨ים לֶ֤חֶם וּבָשָׂר֙ בַּבֹּ֔קֶר וְלֶ֥חֶם וּבָשָׂ֖ר בָּעָ֑רֶב וּמִן הַנַּ֖חַל יִשְׁתֶּֽה
- 7And it came to pass after a while, that the brook dried up, because there had been no rain in the land.וַיְהִ֛י מִקֵּ֥ץ יָמִ֖ים וַיִּיבַ֣שׁ הַנָּ֑חַל כִּ֛י לֹֽא הָיָ֥ה גֶ֖שֶׁם בָּאָֽרֶץ
- 8And the word of the LORD came unto him, saying,וַיְהִ֥י דְבַר יְהוָ֖ה אֵלָ֥יו לֵאמֹֽר
- 9Arise, get thee to Zarephath, which belongeth to Zidon, and dwell there: behold, I have commanded a widow woman there to sustain thee.ק֣וּם לֵ֤ךְ צָרְפַ֨תָה֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר לְצִיד֔וֹן וְיָשַׁבְתָּ֖ שָׁ֑ם הִנֵּ֨ה צִוִּ֥יתִי שָׁ֛ם אִשָּׁ֥ה אַלְמָנָ֖ה לְכַלְכְּלֶֽךָ
- 10So he arose and went to Zarephath. And when he came to the gate of the city, behold, the widow woman was there gathering of sticks: and he called to her, and said, Fetch me, I pray thee, a little water in a vessel, that I may drink.וַיָּ֣קָם וַיֵּ֣לֶךְ צָרְפַ֗תָה וַיָּבֹא֙ אֶל פֶּ֣תַח הָעִ֔יר וְהִנֵּֽה שָׁ֛ם אִשָּׁ֥ה אַלְמָנָ֖ה מְקֹשֶׁ֣שֶׁת עֵצִ֑ים וַיִּקְרָ֤א אֵלֶ֨יהָ֙ וַיֹּאמַ֔ר קְחִי נָ֨א מְעַט מַ֛יִם בַּכְּלִ֖י וְאֶשְׁתֶּֽה
- 11And as she was going to fetch it, he called to her, and said, Bring me, I pray thee, a morsel of bread in thine hand.וַתֵּ֖לֶךְ לָקַ֑חַת וַיִּקְרָ֤א אֵלֶ֨יהָ֙ וַיֹּאמַ֔ר לִֽקְחִי נָ֥א פַּת לֶ֖חֶם בְּיָדֵֽךְ
- 12And she said, As the LORD thy God liveth, I have not a cake, but an handful of meal in a barrel, and a little oil in a cruse: and, behold, I am gathering two sticks, that I may go in and dress it for me and my son, that we may eat it, and die.וַתֹּ֗אמֶר חַי יְהוָ֤ה אֱלֹהֶ֨יךָ֙ אִם יֶשׁ מָע֔וֹג כִּ֣י אִם מְלֹ֤א כַף קֶ֨מַח֙ בַּכַּ֔ד וּמְעַט שֶׁ֖מֶן בַּצַּפָּ֑חַת וְהִנְנִ֨י מְקֹשֶׁ֜שֶׁת שְׁנַ֣יִם עֵצִ֗ים וּבָ֨אתִי֙ וַעֲשִׂיתִ֨יהוּ֙ וְלִבְנִ֔י וַאֲכַלְנֻ֖הוּ וָמָֽתְנוּ
- 13And Elijah said unto her, Fear not; go and do as thou hast said: but make me thereof a little cake first, and bring it unto me, and after make for thee and for thy son.וַיֹּ֨אמֶר אֵלֶ֤יהָ אֵלִיָּ֨הוּ֙ אַל תִּ֣ירְאִ֔י בֹּ֖אִי עֲשִׂ֣י כִדְבָרֵ֑ךְ אַ֣ךְ עֲשִׂי מִ֠שָּׁם עֻגָ֨ה קְטַנָּ֤ה בָרִאשֹׁנָה֙ וְהוֹצֵ֣אתְ וְלִבְנֵ֔ךְ תַּעֲשִׂ֖י בָּאַחֲרֹנָֽה
- 14For thus saith the LORD God of Israel, The barrel of meal shall not waste, neither shall the cruse of oil fail, until the day that the LORD sendeth rain upon the earth.כִּ֣י כֹה֩ אָמַ֨ר יְהוָ֜ה אֱלֹהֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֗ל כַּ֤ד הַקֶּ֨מַח֙ לֹ֣א תִכְלָ֔ה וְצַפַּ֥חַת הַשֶּׁ֖מֶן לֹ֣א תֶחְסָ֑ר עַ֠ד י֧וֹם תתן תֵּת יְהוָ֛ה גֶּ֖שֶׁם עַל פְּנֵ֥י הָאֲדָמָֽה
- 15And she went and did according to the saying of Elijah: and she, and he, and her house, did eat many days.וַתֵּ֥לֶךְ וַתַּעֲשֶׂ֖ה כִּדְבַ֣ר אֵלִיָּ֑הוּ וַתֹּ֧אכַל הוא והיא הִֽיא וָה֛וּא וּבֵיתָ֖הּ יָמִֽים
- 16And the barrel of meal wasted not, neither did the cruse of oil fail, according to the word of the LORD, which he spake by Elijah.כַּ֤ד הַקֶּ֨מַח֙ לֹ֣א כָלָ֔תָה וְצַפַּ֥חַת הַשֶּׁ֖מֶן לֹ֣א חָסֵ֑ר כִּדְבַ֣ר יְהוָ֔ה אֲשֶׁ֥ר דִּבֶּ֖ר בְּיַ֥ד אֵלִיָּֽהוּ
- 17And it came to pass after these things, that the son of the woman, the mistress of the house, fell sick; and his sickness was so sore, that there was no breath left in him.וַיְהִ֗י אַחַר֙ הַדְּבָרִ֣ים הָאֵ֔לֶּה חָלָ֕ה בֶּן הָאִשָּׁ֖ה בַּעֲלַ֣ת הַבָּ֑יִת וַיְהִ֤י חָלְיוֹ֙ חָזָ֣ק מְאֹ֔ד עַ֛ד אֲשֶׁ֥ר לֹא נֽוֹתְרָה נְשָׁמָֽה
- 18And she said unto Elijah, What have I to do with thee, O thou man of God? art thou come unto me to call my sin to remembrance, and to slay my son?וַתֹּ֨אמֶר֙ אֶל אֵ֣לִיָּ֔הוּ מַה אִ֣ישׁ הָאֱלֹהִ֑ים בָּ֧אתָ אֵלַ֛י לְהַזְכִּ֥יר אֶת עֲוֺנִ֖י וּלְהָמִ֥ית אֶת בְּנִֽי
- 19And he said unto her, Give me thy son. And he took him out of her bosom, and carried him up into a loft, where he abode, and laid him upon his own bed.וַיֹּ֥אמֶר אֵלֶ֖יהָ תְּנִֽי אֶת בְּנֵ֑ךְ וַיִּקָּחֵ֣הוּ מֵחֵיקָ֗הּ וַֽיַּעֲלֵ֨הוּ֙ אֶל הָעֲלִיָּ֗ה אֲשֶׁר הוּא֙ יֹשֵׁ֣ב שָׁ֔ם וַיַּשְׁכִּבֵ֖הוּ עַל מִטָּתֽוֹ
- 20And he cried unto the LORD, and said, O LORD my God, hast thou also brought evil upon the widow with whom I sojourn, by slaying her son?וַיִּקְרָ֥א אֶל יְהוָ֖ה וַיֹּאמַ֑ר יְהוָ֣ה אֱלֹהָ֔י הֲ֠גַם עַל הָאַלְמָנָ֞ה אֲשֶׁר אֲנִ֨י מִתְגּוֹרֵ֥ר עִמָּ֛הּ הֲרֵע֖וֹתָ לְהָמִ֥ית אֶת בְּנָֽהּ
- 21And he stretched himself upon the child three times, and cried unto the LORD, and said, O LORD my God, I pray thee, let this child's soul come into him again.וַיִּתְמֹדֵ֤ד עַל הַיֶּ֨לֶד֙ שָׁלֹ֣שׁ פְּעָמִ֔ים וַיִּקְרָ֥א אֶל יְהוָ֖ה וַיֹּאמַ֑ר יְהוָ֣ה אֱלֹהָ֔י תָּ֥שָׁב נָ֛א נֶֽפֶשׁ הַיֶּ֥לֶד הַזֶּ֖ה עַל קִרְבּֽוֹ
- 22And the LORD heard the voice of Elijah; and the soul of the child came into him again, and he revived.וַיִּשְׁמַ֥ע יְהוָ֖ה בְּק֣וֹל אֵלִיָּ֑הוּ וַתָּ֧שָׁב נֶֽפֶשׁ הַיֶּ֛לֶד עַל קִרְבּ֖וֹ וַיֶּֽחִי
- 23And Elijah took the child, and brought him down out of the chamber into the house, and delivered him unto his mother: and Elijah said, See, thy son liveth.וַיִּקַּ֨ח אֵלִיָּ֜הוּ אֶת הַיֶּ֗לֶד וַיֹּרִדֵ֤הוּ מִן הָעֲלִיָּה֙ הַבַּ֔יְתָה וַֽיִּתְּנֵ֖הוּ לְאִמּ֑וֹ וַיֹּ֨אמֶר֙ אֵ֣לִיָּ֔הוּ רְאִ֖י חַ֥י בְּנֵֽךְ
- 24And the woman said to Elijah, Now by this I know that thou art a man of God, and that the word of the LORD in thy mouth is truth.וַתֹּ֤אמֶר הָֽאִשָּׁה֙ אֶל אֵ֣לִיָּ֔הוּ עַתָּה֙ זֶ֣ה יָדַ֔עְתִּי כִּ֛י אִ֥ישׁ אֱלֹהִ֖ים אָ֑תָּה וּדְבַר יְהוָ֥ה בְּפִ֖יךָ אֱמֶֽת

Hebrew verse gematria
YHWSA calculates these totals directly from every consonant in the tagged Hebrew source line using the Carlo Suarès letter-number system; vowel points and cantillation marks do not add values. The totals are not reverse-mapped from English. A matching number is a comparison to investigate, not proof that two passages mean the same thing.
Lexical definitions describe possible word ranges, not automatic interpretations of a verse. See the concordance guide, gematria method, and source policy.
