And Elijah said unto all the people ,
Come near unto me .
And all the people came near unto him .

And Elijah took twelve sh @

stones ,
according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Jacob Ya #
aqob #,
unto whom the word of the LORD came ,
saying ,
Israel shall be thy name :
*
And with the stones he built an altar in the name of the LORD :
and he made a trench about the altar ,
as great as would contain two measures of seed .
*
And he putthe 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 .
*
And 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 .
*
And the water ran round about the altar ;
and he filled the trench also with water .
*
And it came to pass at the time of the offering of the evening sacrifice ,
that Elijah the prophet came near ,
and said ,
LORD God of Abraham ,
Isaac ,
and of Israel Yisra #
el #,
let it be known this day that thou art God in Israel Yisra #
el #,
and that I am thy servant ,
and that I have done all these things at thy word .
*
Hear me ,
O LORD ,
hear me ,
that this people may know that thou art the LORD God ,
and that thou hast turned #
their heart back again .
*
Then the fire of the LORD 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 t @#
