1 Kings 18:30-39

30And ElijahH452 saidH559 unto allH3605 the peopleH5971, ComeH5066 nearH5066 unto meH413; and allH3605 the peopleH5971 cameH5066 nearH5066 unto him. And he repairedH7495 the altarH4196 of the LORDH3068 that was thrownH2040 downH2040.

31And ElijahH452 tookH3947 twelveH6240 stonesH68, accordingH413 to the numberH4557 of the tribesH7626 of the sonsH1121 of JacobH3290, unto whomH834 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 cameH1961, sayingH559, IsraelH3478 shall be thy nameH8034.

32And with the stonesH68 he builtH1129 an altarH4196 in the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068; and he madeH6213 a trench aboutH5439 the altarH4196, as great as would contain twoH1004 measuresH5429 of seedH2233.

33And he putH7760 the woodH6086 in order, and cutH5408 the bullock in piecesH5408, and laidH7760 it on the woodH6086. And he said, Fill four barrels with water, and pour it on the burnt offering, and on the woodH6086.

34And he saidH559, DoH8138 it the secondH8138 time; and they didH8027 it the secondH8138 time. And he saidH559, DoH8138 it the thirdH8027 time; and they didH8027 it the thirdH8027 time.

35And the waterH4325 ran roundH5439 aboutH5439 the altarH4196; and he filledH4390 the trench also with waterH4325.

36And it cameH1961 to passH1961 at the time of the offering of the evening oblation, that ElijahH452 the prophetH5030 cameH1961 nearH5066, and saidH559, O LORDH3068, the GodH430 of AbrahamH85, of IsaacH3327, and of IsraelH3478, letH1961 it be knownH3045 this dayH3117 that thou art GodH430 in IsraelH3478, and that I am thy servantH5650, and that I have doneH6213 allH3605 theseH428 things at thy wordH1697.

37Hear meH5437, O LORDH3068, hear meH5437, that this peopleH5971 may knowH3045 that thou, LORDH3068, art GodH430, and that thou hast turnedH5437 their heartH3820 backH322 againH322.

38Then the fireH784 of the LORDH3068 fellH5307, and consumedH398 the burntH5930 offering, and the woodH6086, and the stonesH68, and the dustH6083, and lickedH3897 upH853 the waterH4325 that was in the trench.

39And when allH3605 the peopleH5971 sawH7200 it, they fellH5307 on their facesH6440: and they saidH559, The LORDH3068, he is GodH430; the LORDH3068, he is GodH430.
