1 Kings 17:12
Douay-Rheims
And she answered: As the Lord thy God liveth, I have no bread, but only a handful of meal in a pot, and a little oil in a cruse: behold I am gathering two sticks that I may go in and dress it, for me and my son, that we may eat it, and die.
Rashi
Cake. [מעוג means] the same as עוגה [=cake].
A handful. [Targum] Yonoson rendered, “the palm of a handful.”
In a bottle. Bouteille, in O.F., as it is stated regarding Shaul, “the flask of water that was at [Shaul’s] head.”
We will die. From then on, we will die of hunger.
Hebrew and Aramaic words are the commentator’s citations of the sacred text; the English translation that follows each is the translator’s.
