God’s Word Translation
1 Kings 18:30-35
30Then Elijah said to all the people, “Come over here.” So all the people came to him. He rebuilt the Lord’s altar that had been torn down.
31Elijah took 12 stones, one for each of the tribes named after Jacob’s sons. (The Lord had spoken his word to Jacob: “Your name will be Israel.”)
32Elijah built an altar in the Lord’s name with those stones. He also made a trench that could hold 12 quarts of grain around the altar.
33He arranged the wood, cut up the bull, and put it on the wood.
34He said, “Fill four jars with water. Pour the water on the offering and on the wood.” Then he said, “Do it again,” and they did it again. Then he said, “Do it a third time,” and they did it a third time.
35The water flowed around the altar, and even the trench was filled with water.
