26Then they tookH3947 the oxH6499 whichH834 1was givenH5414 them and they preparedH6213 it and calledH7121 on the nameH8034 of BaalH1168 from morningH1242 untilH5704 noonH6672 sayingH559, “O BaalH1168, answerH6030 us.” But thereH369 was 2noH369 voiceH6963 and noH369 oneH369 answeredH6030. And they 3leapedH6452 aboutH5921 the altarH4196 whichH834 4they madeH6213.
