1 Re 18:33 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 18:33

And he put the wood in order, and cut the bullock in pieces,
and laid him on the wood
Just in such manner as sacrifices usually were:

and said, fill four barrels with water;
either from the brook Kishon, or, if that was dried up, from the sea; for both were near this mountain, and so to be had, though a time of drought:

and pour it on the burnt sacrifice;
that which was intended to be one:

and upon the wood:
wherewith it was to be burnt, and so made unfit for it; and which would make the miracle appear the greater, when fire came down and consumed it.

1 Re 18:33 In-Context

31 Poi Elia prese dodici pietre, secondo il numero delle tribĂą dei figliuoli di Giacobbe, al quale il Signore avea detto: Il tuo nome sarĂ  Israele.
32 E di quelle pietre edificò un altare al Nome del Signore, e fece d’intorno all’altare un condotto della capacità d’intorno a due staia di semenza.
33 Poi ordinò le legne, e tagliò il giovenco a pezzi, e lo mise sopra le legne.
34 E disse: empiete quattro vasi d’acqua, e spandetela sopra l’olocausto, e sopra le legne. Poi disse: Fatelo la seconda volta. Ed essi lo fecero la seconda volta. Poi disse: Fatelo la terza volta. Ed essi lo fecero la terza volta;
35 talchè l’acqua andava intorno all’altare, ed anche empiè il condotto.
