When the stream at Kerith dried up, Eliyahu was sent north to Tzarfas, near Tzidon. At the town gate he found a widow bent over, gathering sticks. He called out to her and asked for a little water.
וַיָּקׇם וַיֵּלֶךְ צָרְפַתָה וַיָּבֹא אֶל פֶּתַח הָעִיר וְהִנֵּה שָׁם אִשָּׁה אַלְמָנָה מְקֹשֶׁשֶׁת עֵצִים וַיִּקְרָא אֵלֶיהָ וַיֹּאמַר קְחִי נָא לִי מְעַט מַיִם בַּכְּלִי וְאֶשְׁתֶּה׃
מלכים א יז:י
"He arose and went to Tzarfas. He came to the entrance of the city, and there was a widow gathering sticks. He called to her and said, 'Please bring me a little water in a vessel, so I may drink.'"
Melachim Aleph 17:10
She had a handful of flour in a jar and a little oil in a jug, nothing more. She was gathering sticks to bake one last meal for herself and her son, and then they would die. Eliyahu told her not to be afraid, and to bake a small cake for him first.
וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלֶיהָ אֵלִיָּהוּ אַל תִּירְאִי בֹּאִי עֲשִׂי כִדְבָרֵךְ אַךְ עֲשִׂי לִי מִשָּׁם עֻגָה קְטַנָּה בָרִאשֹׁנָה וְהוֹצֵאת לִי וְלָךְ וְלִבְנֵךְ תַּעֲשִׂי בָּאַחֲרֹנָה׃
מלכים א יז:יג
"Eliyahu said to her, 'Do not be afraid. Go and do as you said, but first make me a small cake from it and bring it out to me, and afterward make some for yourself and your son.'"
Melachim Aleph 17:13
She did what he said. And every morning after that, there was flour in the jar and oil in the jug, for her, for her son and for Eliyahu, all through the drought.
כַּד הַקֶּמַח לֹא כָלָתָה וְצַפַּחַת הַשֶּׁמֶן לֹא חָסֵר׃
מלכים א יז:טז
"The jar of flour did not run out, and the jug of oil did not fail."
Melachim Aleph 17:16
