1 Kings 18:24-39

24Then you callH7121 on the nameH8034 of your godH430, and I will callH7121 on the nameH8034 of the LordH3068; and 1the GodH430 whoH834 answersH6030 by fireH784, He is GodH430.” And allH3605 the peopleH5971 repliedH6030H559, “2That is a goodH2896 ideaH1697.”

25So ElijahH452 saidH559 to the prophetsH5030 of BaalH1168, “ChooseH977 the oneH259 oxH6499 for yourselves and prepareH6213 it firstH7223, sinceH3588 there are manyH7227 of you, and callH7121 on the nameH8034 of your godH430, but putH7760 noH3808 fireH784 under the ox.” 26Then they tookH3947 the oxH6499 whichH834 3was givenH5414 them and they preparedH6213 it, and they calledH7121 on the nameH8034 of BaalH1168 from morningH1242 untilH5704 noonH6672, sayingH559, “O BaalH1168, answerH6030 us!” But thereH369 wasH369 4noH369 voiceH6963 and noH369 oneH369 answeredH6030. And they 5limpedH6452 aboutH5921 the altarH4196 whichH834 6they had madeH6213. 27And at noonH6672 ElijahH452 ridiculedH2048 them and saidH559, “CallH7121 outH7121 with a loudH1419 voiceH6963, sinceH3588 he is a godH430; undoubtedlyH3588 he is attendingH7879 toH7879 businessH7879, or is on the wayH5509, or is on a journeyH1870. PerhapsH194 he is asleepH3463, and will awakenH3364.” 28So they criedH7121 outH7121 with a loudH1419 voiceH6963, and 7cutH1413 themselves according to their customH4941 with swordsH2719 and lancesH7420 untilH5704 bloodH1818 gushedH8210 outH8210 on them. 29When middayH6672 wasH5674 pastH5674, they ravedH5012 8untilH5704 the time of the offeringH5927 of the evening sacrificeH4503; but thereH369 wasH369 noH369 voiceH6963, noH369 oneH369 answeredH6030, and 9noH369 oneH369 paidH7182 attentionH7182.

30Then ElijahH452 saidH559 to allH3605 the peopleH5971, “ComeH5066 forwardH5066 to me.” So allH3605 the peopleH5971 cameH5066 forwardH5066 to him. And 10he repairedH7495 the altarH4196 of the LordH3068 which had been tornH2040 downH2040. 31Then ElijahH452 tookH3947 twelveH8147H6240 stonesH68, corresponding to the numberH4557 of the tribesH7626 of the sonsH1121 of JacobH3290, to whomH834 the wordH1697 of the LordH3068 had comeH1961, sayingH559, “11IsraelH3478 shall be your nameH8034.” 32And with the stonesH68 he builtH1129 an altarH4196 in 12the nameH8034 of the LordH3068; and he madeH6213 a trenchH8585 aroundH5439 the altarH4196, largeH1004 enoughH1004 to holdH1004 two 13measuresH5429 of seedH2233. 3314Then he laidH6186 outH6186 the woodH6086, and he cutH5408 the oxH6499 inH5408 piecesH5408 and placedH7760 it on the woodH6086. 34And he saidH559, “FillH4390 fourH702 largeH3537 jarsH3537 with waterH4325 and pourH3332 it on the burntH5930 offeringH5930 and on the woodH6086.” And he saidH559, “DoH8138 it aH8138 secondH8138 timeH8138,” so they didH8138 it aH8138 secondH8138 timeH8138. Then he saidH559, “DoH8027 it aH8027 thirdH8027 timeH8027,” so they didH8027 it aH8027 thirdH8027 timeH8027. 35The waterH4325 flowedH1980 aroundH5439 the altarH4196, and he alsoH1571 filledH4390 the trenchH8585 with waterH4325. 36Then 15at the timeH3117 of the offeringH5927 of the evening sacrificeH4503, ElijahH452 the prophetH5030 approachedH5066 and saidH559, “16LordH3068, GodH430 of AbrahamH85, IsaacH3327, and IsraelH3478, todayH3117 let it be knownH3045 that 17You are GodH430 in IsraelH3478 and that I am Your servantH5650, and that 18I have doneH6213 allH3605 theseH428 thingsH1697 at Your wordH1697. 37AnswerH6030 me, LordH3068, answerH6030 me, so that thisH2088 peopleH5971 may knowH3045 that You, LordH3068, are GodH430, and that You have turnedH5437 their heartH3820 backH322.” 38Then the 19fireH784 of the LordH3068 fellH5307 and consumedH398 the burntH5930 offeringH5930 and the woodH6086, and the stonesH68 and the dustH6083; and it lickedH3897 upH3897 the waterH4325 that was in the trenchH8585. 39When allH3605 the peopleH5971 sawH7200 this, they fellH5307 on their facesH6440; and they saidH559, “20The LordH3068, He is GodH430; the LordH3068, He is GodH430!”
