17:1
et dixit Helias Thesbites de habitatoribus Galaad ad Ahabvivit Dominus Deus Israhel in cuius conspectu sto si erit annishis ros et pluvia nisi iuxta oris mei verba

17:2
et factum est verbum Domini ad eum dicens

17:3
recede hinc et vade contra orientem et abscondere intorrente Charith qui est contra Iordanem

17:4
et ibi de torrente bibes corvisque praecepi ut pascant teibi

17:5
abiit ergo et fecit iuxta verbum Domini cumque abissetsedit in torrente Charith qui est contra Iordanem

17:6
corvi quoque deferebant panem et carnes mane similiterpanem et carnes vesperi et bibebat de torrente

17:7
post dies autem siccatus est torrens non enim pluerat superterram

17:8
factus est igitur sermo Domini ad eum dicens

17:9
surge et vade in Sareptha Sidoniorum et manebis ibipraecepi enim ibi mulieri viduae ut pascat te

17:10
surrexit et abiit Sareptham cumque venisset ad portamcivitatis apparuit ei mulier vidua colligens ligna et vocaviteam dixitque da mihi paululum aquae in vase ut bibam

17:11
cumque illa pergeret ut adferret clamavit post tergum eiusdicens adfer mihi obsecro et buccellam panis in manu tua

17:12
quae respondit vivit Dominus Deus tuus quia non habeopanem nisi quantum pugillus capere potest farinae in hydria etpaululum olei in lecytho en colligo duo ligna ut ingrediar etfaciam illud mihi et filio meo ut comedamus et moriamur

17:13
ad quam Helias ait noli timere sed vade et fac sicutdixisti verumtamen mihi primum fac de ipsa farinulasubcinericium panem parvulum et adfer ad me tibi autem et filiotuo facies postea

17:14
haec autem dicit Dominus Deus Israhel hydria farinae nondeficiet nec lecythus olei minuetur usque ad diem in quadaturus est Dominus pluviam super faciem terrae

17:15
quae abiit et fecit iuxta verbum Heliae et comedit ipse etilla et domus eius et ex illa die

17:16

17:17
factum est autem post verba haec aegrotavit filiusmulieris matris familiae et erat languor fortis nimis ita utnon remaneret in eo halitus

17:18
dixit ergo ad Heliam quid mihi et tibi vir Dei ingressuses ad me ut rememorarentur iniquitates meae et interficeresfilium meum

17:19
et ait ad eam da mihi filium tuum tulitque eum de sinuillius et portavit in cenaculum ubi ipse manebat et posuitsuper lectulum suum

17:20
et clamavit ad Dominum et dixit Domine Deus meus etiamneviduam apud quam ego utcumque sustentor adflixisti utinterficeres filium eius

17:21
et expandit se atque mensus est super puerum tribusvicibus clamavitque ad Dominum et ait Domine Deus meusrevertatur oro anima pueri huius in viscera eius

17:22
exaudivit Dominus vocem Heliae et reversa est anima pueriintra eum et revixit

17:23

017:001
And 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.

017:002
And the word of the LORD came unto him, saying,

017:003
Get thee hence, and turn thee eastward, and hide thyself by the brook Cherith, that is before Jordan.

017:004
And it shall be, that thou shalt drink of the brook; and I have commanded the ravens to feed thee there.

017:005
So he went and did according unto the word of the LORD: for he went and dwelt by the brook Cherith, that is before Jordan.

017:006
And the ravens brought him bread and flesh in the morning, and bread and flesh in the evening; and he drank of the brook.

017:007
And it came to pass after a while, that the brook dried up, because there had been no rain in the land.

017:008
And the word of the LORD came unto him, saying,

017:009
Arise, get thee to Zarephath, which belongeth to Zidon, and dwell there: behold, I have commanded a widow woman there to sustain thee.

017:010
So 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.

017:011
And 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.

017:012
And 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.

017:013
And 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.

017:014
For 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.

017:015
And she went and did according to the saying of Elijah: and she, and he, and her house, did eat many days.

017:016
And 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.

017:017
And 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.

017:018
And 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?

017:019
And 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.

017:020
And 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?

017:021
And 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.

017:022
And the LORD heard the voice of Elijah; and the soul of the child came into him again, and he revived.

017:023
And 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.

017:024
And 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.
