And he repaired{H7495} the altar{H4196} of Jehovah{H3068} that was thrown down.{H2040} 31 And Elijah{H452} took{H3947} twelve{H8147} stones,{H68} according to the number{H4557} of the tribes{H7626} of the sons{H1121} of Jacob,{H3290} unto whom the word{H1697} of Jehovah{H3068} came, saying,{H559} Israel{H3478} shall be thy name.{H8034} 32 And with the stones{H68} he built{H1129} an altar{H4196} in the name{H8034} of Jehovah;{H3068} and he made{H6213} a trench{H8585} about{H5439} the altar,{H4196} as great as would contain{H1004} two measures{H5429} of seed.{H2233} 33 And he put{H6186} the wood{H6086} in order,{H6186} and cut{H5408} the bullock{H6499} in pieces, and laid{H7760} it on the wood.{H6086} And he said,{H559} Fill{H4390} four{H702} jars{H3537} with water,{H4325} and pour{H3332} it on the burnt-offering,{H5930} and on the wood.{H6086} 34 And he said,{H559} Do it the second time;{H8138} and they did it the second time.{H8138} And he said,{H559} Do it the third time;{H8027} and they did it the third time.{H8027} 35 And the water{H4325} ran{H3212} round about{H5439} the altar;{H4196} and he filled{H4390} the trench{H8585} also with water.{H4325} 36 And it came to pass at the time of the offering{H5927} of the evening oblation,{H4503} that Elijah{H452} the prophet{H5030} came near,{H5066} and said,{H559} O Jehovah,{H3068} the God{H430} of Abraham,{H85} of Isaac,{H3327} and of Israel,{H3478} let it be known{H3045} this day{H3117} that thou art God{H430} in Israel,{H3478} and that I am thy servant,{H5650} and that I have done{H6213} all these things at thy word.{H1697} 37 Hear{H6030} me, O Jehovah,{H3068} hear{H6030} me, that this people{H5971} may know{H3045} that thou, Jehovah,{H3068} art God,{H430} and [that] thou hast turned{H5437} their heart{H3820} back{H5437} again.{H322} 38 Then the fire{H784} of Jehovah{H3068} fell,{H5307} and consumed{H398} the burnt-offering,{H5930} and the wood,{H6086} and the stones,{H68} and the dust,{H6083} and licked up{H3897} the water{H4325} that was in the trench.{H8585} 39 And when all the people{H5971} saw{H7200} it, they fell{H5307} on their faces:{H6440} and they said,{H559} Jehovah,{H3068} he is God;{H430} Jehovah,{H3068} he is God.{H430} 40 and Elijah{H452} said{H559} unto them, Take{H8610} the prophets{H5030} of Baal;{H1168} let not one{H376} of them escape.{H4422} And they took{H8610} them; and Elijah{H452} brought them down{H3381} to the brook{H5158} Kishon,{H7028} and slew{H7819} them there.
