Manners and Customs of the Bible
By:
James M. Freeman
1 Kings 17:10
10
So he arose and went to Zarephath. And when he came to the gate of the city, behold, the widow woman was there gathering of sticks: and he called to her, and said, Fetch me, I pray thee, a little water in a vessel, that I may drink. (1 Kings 17:10)
. When he came to the gate of the city, behold, the widow woman was there gathering of sticks.
There seems to have been a scarcity of fuel in Palestine then as now. Twigs, branches, sticks of all kinds, and even thorns (
Psa. 58:9
9
Before your pots can feel the thorns, he shall take them away as with a whirlwind, both living, and in his wrath. (Psalm 58:9)
) are carefully gathered for making fires, and the greatest economy is practiced in their use.
See note on
Psalm 58:9
9
Before your pots can feel the thorns, he shall take them away as with a whirlwind, both living, and in his wrath. (Psalm 58:9)
(#441) and also on
Matthew 6:30
30
Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith? (Matthew 6:30)
(#646).
