Brook Cherith

그릿 시내

Named at 1 Kings 17:3 as before the Jordan. At 17:2–4 the LORD’s word comes to Elijah (WEB “to him”), saying, “Go away from here, turn eastward, and hide yourself by the brook Cherith, that is before the Jordan. You shall drink from the brook. I have commanded the ravens to feed you there.” At 17:5–7 he goes and lives by the brook Cherith that is before the Jordan; the ravens bring him bread and meat in the morning, and bread and meat in the evening, and he drinks from the brook; and after a while, the brook dries up, because there was no rain in the land.

    2Then the LORD’s word came to him, saying,

    3“Go away from here, turn eastward, and hide yourself by the brook Cherith, that is before the Jordan.

    4You shall drink from the brook. I have commanded the ravens to feed you there.”

    5So he went and did according to the LORD’s word, for he went and lived by the brook Cherith that is before the Jordan.

    6The ravens brought him bread and meat in the morning, and bread and meat in the evening; and he drank from the brook.

    7After a while, the brook dried up, because there was no rain in the land.
