La Bible Ostervald (1996)
Car ainsi a dit l'Éternel, le Dieu d'Israël: La farine qui est dans la cruche ne manquera point, et l'huile qui est dans la fiole ne finira point, jusqu'au jour où l'Éternel enverra de la pluie sur la terre.
Darby's French Translation
car ainsi dit l'Éternel, le Dieu d'Israël: Le pot de farine ne s'épuisera pas, et la cruche d'huile ne manquera pas, jusqu'au jour où l'Éternel donnera de la pluie sur la face de la terre.
La Bible David Martin (1744)
Car ainsi a dit l'Eternel le Dieu d'Israël : La farine qui est dans la cruche, ne défaudra point, et l'huile qui est dans la fiole ne défaudra point, jusqu'à ce que l'Eternel donne de la pluie sur la terre.

Bible Verse Review
  from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge

thus saith: 2 Kings 3:16, 2 Kings 7:1, 2 Kings 9:6

The barrel of meal: 1 Kings 17:4, 2 Kings 4:2-7, 2 Kings 4:42-44, Matthew 14:17-20, Matthew 15:36-38

sendeth: Heb. giveth

Reciprocal: 2 Kings 4:6 - And the oil Jeremiah 14:22 - Art Matthew 6:34 - for Mark 8:8 - they took

Gill's Notes on the Bible

For thus saith the Lord God of Israel,.... Whom the prophet perceived she had knowledge of, and faith in:

the barrel of meal shall not waste, neither shall the cruse of oil fail; that is, the meal in the barrel, and the oil in the cruse, by an hypallage, or change of words:

until the day that the Lord sendeth rain upon the earth; which was assuring her the rain would be sent, and that the Lord, who had the sole command of it, would send it; and that, until that time it should be sent, she would have no lack of provisions, and therefore need not scruple dressing for the prophet first.
