1 Kings 18:32-38

Bible Text

[32] With the stones he built an altar in the name of Yahweh; and he made a trench about the altar, as great as would contain two measures of seed. [33] He put the wood in order, and cut the bull in pieces, and laid it on the wood. He said, Fill four jars with water, and pour it on the burnt offering, and on the wood. [34] He said, Do it the second time; and they did it the second time. He said, Do it the third time; and they did it the third time. [35] The water ran round about the altar; and he filled the trench also with water. [36] It happened at the time of the offering of the [evening] offering, that Elijah the prophet came near, and said, Yahweh, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Israel, let it be known this day that you are God in Israel, and that I am your servant, and that I have done all these things at your word. [37] Hear me, Yahweh, hear me, that this people may know that you, Yahweh, are God, and [that] you have turned their heart back again. [38] Then the fire of Yahweh fell, and consumed the burnt offering, and the wood, and the stones, and the dust, and licked up the water that was in the trench.
