3 "Leave this place. Go east and hide in the Kerith Valley. It is east of the Jordan River.
4 You will drink water from the brook. I have ordered some ravens to feed you there."
5 So Elijah did what the Lord had told him to do. He went to the Kerith Valley. It was east of the Jordan River. He stayed there.
6 The ravens brought him bread and meat in the morning. They also brought him bread and meat in the evening. He drank water from the brook.
7 Some time later the brook dried up. It hadn't rained in the land for quite a while.
8 A message came to Elijah from the Lord. He said,
9 "Go right away to Zarephath in the territory of Sidon. Stay there. I have commanded a widow in that place to supply you with food."
