Where Zarephath appears in Scripture
קוּם לֵךְ צָֽרְפַתָה אֲשֶׁר לְצִידוֹן וְיָֽשַׁבְתָּ שָׁם הִנֵּה צִוִּיתִי שָׁם אִשָּׁה אַלְמָנָה לְכַלְכְּלֶֽךָ׃
Arise, get thee to Zarephath, which belongeth to Zidon, and dwell there: behold, I have commanded a widow woman there to sustain thee.
וַיָּקָם׀ וַיֵּלֶךְ צָֽרְפַתָה וַיָּבֹא אֶל-פֶּתַח הָעִיר וְהִנֵּה-שָׁם אִשָּׁה אַלְמָנָה מְקֹשֶׁשֶׁת עֵצִים וַיִּקְרָא אֵלֶיהָ וַיֹּאמַר קְחִי-נָא לִי מְעַט-מַיִם בַּכְּלִי וְאֶשְׁתֶּֽה׃
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.
וְגָלֻת הַֽחֵל-הַזֶּה לִבְנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל אֲשֶֽׁר-כְּנַעֲנִים עַד-צָרְפַת וְגָלֻת יְרוּשָׁלִַם אֲשֶׁר בִּסְפָרַד יִֽרְשׁוּ אֵת עָרֵי הַנֶּֽגֶב׃
And the captivity of this host of the children of Israel shall possess that of the Canaanites, even unto Zarephath; and the captivity of Jerusalem, which is in Sepharad, shall possess the cities of the south.
