And as he lay and slept under a juniper tree, behold, then an angel touched him, and said unto him, Arise and eat.

Verse 5 is found in chapter 19 of 1 Kings. Jezebel threatens Elijah after the victory at Carmel, and the prophet flees into the wilderness. There, exhausted, he asks to die, but an angel provides him with food and water. The scene radically changes tone from the previous triumph: the victorious prophet now appears vulnerable and exhausted. God’s care precedes the new mission, showing that prophetic ministry also requires sustaining divine provision.

Und er legte sich und schlief unter dem Wacholder. Und siehe, ein Engel rührte ihn an und sprach zu ihm: Steh auf und iß!
Y echándose debajo del enebro, quedose dormido: y he aquí luego un ángel que le tocó, y le dijo: Levántate, come.
Se acostó y se durmió bajo una retama. Entonces un ángel lo tocó y le dijo: «Levántate y come».
Il se coucha et s'endormit sous un genêt. Et voici, un ange le toucha, et lui dit: Lève-toi, mange.
Ed egli si coricò, e si addormentò sotto il ginepro. Ed ecco, un Angelo lo toccò, e gli disse: Levati, mangia.
E deitou-se, e dormiu debaixo do zimbro; e eis que então um anjo o tocou, e lhe disse: Levanta-te, come.
