2 Then a revelation from the LORD came to Elijah:

3 “Leave here, turn eastward, and hide yourself by the Brook of Cherith, east of the Jordan.

And you are to drink from the brook, and I have commanded the ravens to feed you there.”

5 So Elijah did what the LORD had told him, and he went and lived by the Brook of Cherith, east of the Jordan.

6 The ravens would bring him bread and meat in the morning and evening, and he would drink from the brook.
