Pericope: 1 Kings 17:1-7ESV Now Elijah the Tishbite,
of Tishbe[a] in Gilead, said to Ahab, “As the Lord, the God of Israel, lives,
before whom I stand, there shall be neither dew nor rain these years, except by
my word.” 2 And the word of the Lord came to him: 3 “Depart from here and turn
eastward and hide yourself by the brook Cherith, which is east of the Jordan. 4
You shall drink from the brook, and I have commanded the ravens to feed you
there.” 5 So he went and did according to the word of the Lord. He went and
lived by the brook Cherith that is east of the Jordan. 6 And the ravens brought
him bread and meat in the morning, and bread and meat in the evening, and he drank
from the brook. 7 And after a while the brook dried up, because there was no
rain in the land.
