12  And she said: 'As YHWH thy God liveth, I have not a cake, only

Snothing, except a handful of meal in the jar, and a little oil in the cruse

Sa horn; and, behold, I am gathering two sticks, that I may go in and dress it

Swill go and I will make for me and my son, that we may eat it, and die.'

12  And the woman said, As the Lord thy God lives, I have not a cake, but only a handful of meal in the pitcher, and a little oil in a cruse, and, behold, I am going to gather two sticks, and I shall go in and dress it for myself and my children, and we shall eat it and die.

12  And she responded: “As the Lord your God lives, I have no bread, except a handful of flour in a jar, and a little oil in a bottle. See, I am collecting a couple of sticks, so that I may go in and make it for myself and my son, so that we may eat it and die.”
