1 Kings 18:32-38

32And with the stonesH68 he builtH1129 an altarH4196 in the nameH8034 of YhwhH3068: and he madeH6213 a trenchH8585 aboutH5439 the altarH4196, as great as would containH1004 two measuresH5429 of seedH2233.

33And he putH6186 the woodH6086 in orderH6186, and cutH5408 the bullockH6499 in pieces, and laidH7760 him on the woodH6086, and saidH559, FillH4390 fourH702 barrelsH3537 with waterH4325, and pourH3332 it on the burnt sacrificeH5930, and on the woodH6086.

34And he saidH559, Do it the second timeH8138. And they did it the second timeH8138. And he saidH559, Do it the third timeH8027. And they did it the third timeH8027.

35And the waterH4325 ranH3212 round aboutH5439 the altarH4196; and he filledH4390 the trenchH8585 also with waterH4325.1

36And it came to pass at the time of the offeringH5927 of the evening sacrificeH4503, that ElijahH452 the prophetH5030 came nearH5066, and saidH559, YhwhH3068 GodH430 of AbrahamH85, IsaacH3327, and of IsraelH3478, let it be knownH3045 this dayH3117 that thou art GodH430 in IsraelH3478, and that I am thy servantH5650, and that I have doneH6213 all these things at thy wordH1697.

37HearH6030 me, O YhwhH3068, hearH6030 me, that this peopleH5971 may knowH3045 that thou art YhwhH3068 GodH430, and that thou hast turnedH5437 their heartH3820 backH5437 againH322.

38Then the fireH784 of YhwhH3068 fellH5307, and consumedH398 the burnt sacrificeH5930, and the woodH6086, and the stonesH68, and the dustH6083, and licked upH3897 the waterH4325 that was in the trenchH8585.
