1 Kings 17:9-15

17:9 “Get up, go to Zarephath in Sidonian territory, and live there. I have already told ¹  a widow who lives there to provide for you.” 17:10 So he got up and went to Zarephath. When he went through the city gate, there was a widow gathering wood. He called out to her, “Please give me a cup ²  of water, so I can take a drink.” 17:11 As she went to get it, he called out to her, “Please bring me a piece of bread.” ³  17:12 She said, “As certainly as the Lord your God lives, I have no food, except for a handful of flour in a jar and a little olive oil in a jug. Right now I am gathering a couple of sticks for a fire. Then I’m going home to make one final meal for my son and myself. After we have eaten that, we will die of starvation.” ⁴  17:13 Elijah said to her, “Don’t be afraid. Go and do as you planned. ⁵  But first make a small cake for me and bring it to me; then make something for yourself and your son. 17:14 For this is what the Lord God of Israel says, ‘The jar of flour will not be empty and the jug of oil will not run out until the day the Lord makes it rain on the surface of the ground.’” 17:15 She went and did as Elijah told her; there was always enough food for Elijah and for her and her family. ⁶

[17:9]  ¹ tn Heb “Look, I have commanded.”

[17:10]  ² tn Heb “a little.”

[17:11]  ³ tn The Hebrew text also includes the phrase “in your hand.”

[17:12]  ⁴ tn Heb “Look, I am gathering two sticks and then I will go and make it for me and my son and we will eat it and we will die.”

[17:13]  ⁵ tn Heb “according to your word.”

[17:15]  ⁶ tn Heb “and she ate, she and he and her house [for] days.”

[37:3]  ⁷ tn Heb “tend integrity.” The verb רָעָה (ra’ah, “tend, shepherd”) is probably used here in the sense of “watch over, guard.” The noun אֱמוּנָה (’emunah, “faithfulness, honesty, integrity”) is understood as the direct object of the verb, though it could be taken as an adverbial accusative, “[feed] securely,” if the audience is likened to a flock of sheep.

[33:16]  ⁸ tn Heb “he [in the] exalted places will live.”

[33:16]  ⁹ tn Heb “mountain strongholds, cliffs [will be] his elevated place.”

[4:11]  ¹⁰ tn Grk “and behold, angels.” The Greek word ἰδού (idou) has not been translated because it has no exact English equivalent here, but adds interest and emphasis (BDAG 468 s.v. 1).

[6:32]  ¹¹ tn Or “unbelievers”; Grk “Gentiles.”

[21:5]  ¹² tn The word προσφάγιον (prosfagion) is unusual. According to BDAG 886 s.v. in Hellenistic Greek it described a side dish to be eaten with bread, and in some contexts was the equivalent of ὄψον (oyon), “fish.” Used in addressing a group of returning fishermen, however, it is quite clear that the speaker had fish in mind.

[21:5]  ¹³ tn Questions prefaced with μή (mh) in Greek anticipate a negative answer. This can sometimes be indicated by using a “tag” at the end in English (here the tag is “do you?”).

[21:5]  ¹⁴ tn Grk “They answered him.”

[21:9]  ¹⁵ tn The words “on the beach” are not in the Greek text but are implied.

[21:9]  ¹⁶ tn Grk “placed,” “laid.”
