jar in 1 Kings 17
JAR
This thing shows up in 1 Kings 17:10: “So he arose and went to Zarephath; and when he came to the gate of the city, behold, a widow was there gathering sticks. He called to her,…” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real thing in a real place.
1 Kings 17:10
“So he arose and went to Zarephath; and when he came to the gate of the city, behold, a widow was there gathering sticks. He called to her, and said, “Please get me a little water in a jar, that I may drink.””
