Chorath, Kerith (), or sometimes Cherith (; from the Septuagint's ), is the name of a wadi or seasonal stream mentioned in the Hebrew Bible. The prophet Elijah hid himself on the banks of the Chorath and was fed by ravens during the early part of the three years' drought which he announced to King Ahab ().
