CherithJordan
ObedienceFaith

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

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

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.

7 Some time later, however, the brook dried up because there had been no rain in the land.
