1 Kings 18:24-39

24And call ye on the name of your gods, and I will call on the name of Yhwh: and the God that answereth by fire, let him be God. And all the people answered and said, It is well spoken.1

25And Elijah said unto the prophets of Baal, Choose you one bullock for yourselves, and dress it first; for ye are many; and call on the name of your gods, but put no fire under.

26And they took the bullock which was given them, and they dressed it, and called on the name of Baal from morning even until noon, saying, O Baal, hear us. But there was no voice, nor any that answered. And they leaped upon the altar which was made.234

27And it came to pass at noon, that Elijah mocked them, and said, Cry aloud: for he is a god; either he is talking, or he is pursuing, or he is in a journey, or peradventure he sleepeth, and must be awaked.567

28And they cried aloud, and cut themselves after their manner with knives and lancets, till the blood gushed out upon them.8

29And it came to pass, when midday was past, and they prophesied until the time of the offering of the evening sacrifice, that there was neither voice, nor any to answer, nor any that regarded.910

30And Elijah said unto all the people, Come near unto me. And all the people came near unto him. And he repaired the altar of Yhwh that was broken down.

31And Elijah took twelve stones, according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Jacob, unto whom the word of Yhwh came, saying, Israel shall be thy name:

32And with the stones he built an altar in the name of Yhwh: and he made a trench about the altar, as great as would contain two measures of seed.

33And he put the wood in order, and cut the bullock in pieces, and laid him on the wood, and said, Fill four barrels with water, and pour it on the burnt sacrifice, and on the wood.

34And he said, Do it the second time. And they did it the second time. And he said, Do it the third time. And they did it the third time.

35And the water ran round about the altar; and he filled the trench also with water.11

36And it came to pass at the time of the offering of the evening sacrifice, that Elijah the prophet came near, and said, Yhwh God of Abraham, Isaac, and of Israel, let it be known this day that thou art God in Israel, and that I am thy servant, and that I have done all these things at thy word.

37Hear me, O Yhwh, hear me, that this people may know that thou art Yhwh God, and that thou hast turned their heart back again.

38Then the fire of Yhwh fell, and consumed the burnt sacrifice, and the wood, and the stones, and the dust, and licked up the water that was in the trench.

39And when all the people saw it, they fell on their faces: and they said, Yhwh, he is the God; Yhwh, he is the God.
