Hide out in the Kerith Valley near the Jordan. 17:4 Drink from the stream; I have already told⁴ the ravens to bring you food⁵ there.” 17:5 So he did⁶ as the Lord told him; he went and lived in the Kerith Valley near the Jordan. 17:6 The ravens would bring him bread and meat each morning and evening, and he would drink from the stream.
