Brook Cherith
A seasonal stream east of the Jordan where Elijah hid during the drought he had announced, drinking from the brook and fed by ravens until the water dried up (1 Kings 17:2-7).
Where in scripture
[2] Then Yahweh’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. [4] You shall drink from the brook. I have commanded the ravens to feed you there.” [5] So he went and did according to Yahweh’s word; for he went and lived by the brook Cherith that is before the Jordan. [6] The ravens brought him bread and meat in the morning, and bread and meat in the evening; and he drank from the brook. [7] After a while, the brook dried up, because there was no rain in the land.
1 Kings 17:2–7 — cited in the description of Brook Cherith
