1 Kings 18:30-35
30Then ElijahH452 saidH559 to allH3605 the peopleH5971, “Come nearH5066 to meH413.” So allH3605 the peopleH5971H413 approached himH5066, and he repairedH7495 the altarH4196 of the LORDH3068 that had been torn downH2040.
31And ElijahH452 tookH3947 twelveH8147H6240 stonesH68, one for eachH4557 tribeH7626 of the sonsH1121 of JacobH3290, toH413 whomH834 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 had comeH1961 and saidH559, “IsraelH3478 shall beH1961 your nameH8034.” 32And with the stonesH68, Elijah builtH1129 an altarH4196 in the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068. Then he dugH6213 a trenchH8585 aroundH5439 the altarH4196 large enough to holdH1004 two seahsH5429 of seedH2233.1
33Next, he arrangedH6186 the woodH6086, cut upH5408 the bullH6499, placedH7760 it onH5921 the woodH6086, 34and saidH559, “FillH4390 fourH702 waterpotsH3537H4325 and pourH3332 the water onH5921 the offeringH5930 and onH5921 the woodH6086.”2
“Do it a second timeH8138,” he saidH559, and they did it a second timeH8138.
“Do it a third timeH8027,” he saidH559, and they did it a third timeH8027.
35So the waterH4325 ran downH1980 aroundH5439 the altarH4196 and evenH1571 filledH4390 the trenchH8585.
