("separation".) The brook or torrent channel (wady) by which Elijah sojourned in the early part of the three years drought (1 Kings 17:3; 1 Kings 17:5). Probably running into the Jordan from the E. side, Elijah's native region, where he would be beyond Ahab's reach. Possibly now the Wadi Fasail, further North.
