1 KINGS 17:12 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And she said, As the Lord thy God liveth, I have not a cake, but an handful of meal in a barrel, and a little oil in a cruse: and, behold, I am gathering two sticks, that I may go in and dress it for me and my son, that we may eat it, and die.”
For thus saith the LORD God of Israel, The barrel of meal shall not waste, neither shall the cruse of oil fail, until the day that the LORD sendeth rain upon the earth — Elijah's promise is categorical: God will sustain her meal and oil supplies until rain returns. This invokes divine promise that supersedes the laws of consumption.
