1 And Eliyahu HaTishbi, who was of the inhabitants of Tishbe-Gil`ad, said unto Ach'av (King Ahab of Israel), As Hashem Elohei Yisroel liveth, before whom I stand [ministering, as minister], there shall not be tal nor matar these shanim [ahead], except according to my word.
2 And the Devar Hashem came unto him, saying,
3 Get thee from here, and turn thee eastward, and hide thyself in the Wadi Kerit, that is near the Yarden.
4 And it shall be, that thou shalt drink of the brook; and I have commanded the orevvim (ravens) to feed thee there.
