After Elijah had been fed by ravens, he was instructed by God to go to Zarephath where a widow would feed him. When he arrived the widow was gathering sticks for a fire. Elijah asked first for some water to drink, and then for some bread. The widow told him that she didn't have any, and was just about to cook a handful of meal she had left in a barrel with a little oil for herself and her son. Elijah then asked her to make them into a little cake for him first, and told her that if she did this God had promised that the meal and oil would not be exhausted until the rain came to end the famine. The widow did as Elijah asked, and neither the meal nor oil ran out while he was staying with her. This group can be attributed to Ralph Wood II because its companion, 'Elijah and the Ravens' is marked 'Ra. Wood/Burslem. However, both might have been made between his death in 1795 and the death of his son, Ralph Wood III, who died in 1801. reference term-106779 adlib-term-106779 f0706fcd-d94c-3987-bcb5-f7f794332b6a 18th Century, Late reference term-107437 adlib-term-107437 96f4b0d1-fc11-39ff-ae91-1b23d888d479 George III reference term-108171 adlib-term-108171 c943fe08-bd72-32ab-823c-e1eeb56717b3 literal England England country Burslem off-white reference term-42861 adlib-term-42861 5b368285-f1a8-3dcf-a5b2-637fd3c3956c earthenware Height cm 28.1 Width cm 13.5 reference media-47330 adlib-media-47330 6b84a8e9-3317-3dc0-9983-34915fa46f25 jpeg aa/aa8/C_881A_1928_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1742583583609 1 image jpeg aa/aa8/mid_C_881A_1928_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 649 width pixels 500 1742583583609 1 image jpeg aa/aa8/C_881A_1928_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1742583583609 1 image jpeg aa/aa8/preview_C_881A_1928_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 325 width pixels 250 1742583583609 1 image 0 media image reference media-47331 adlib-media-47331 63839253-e89e-32c4-93d3-503e87b69ba7 jpeg aa/aa8/C_881A_1928_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1742583580330 1 image jpeg aa/aa8/mid_C_881A_1928_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 649 width pixels 500 1742583580330 1 image jpeg aa/aa8/C_881A_1928_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1742583580330 1 image jpeg aa/aa8/preview_C_881A_1928_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 325 width pixels 250 1742583580330 1 image 1 media image reference term-110220 adlib-term-110220 e22d3544-a393-3f19-9be4-dc2632ca9942 figure group history note Private house sale at Wisbech; bought by Mr Roe, Cambridge, from whom purchased with its companion figure for £8 on 24 February 1907 by Dr J.W.L.
