and with the stones he built an altar in the name of the LORD; then he made a trench round about the altar, as great as would contain two measures of seed.
33
And he put the wood in order and cut the bullock in pieces and laid
it on the wood and said, Fill four pitchers with water and pour
it on the burnt sacrifice and on the wood.
34
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.
35
So that the water ran round about the altar, and he had filled the trench also with water.

that I have done all these things at thy word.
37
Answer me, O LORD, answer me, that this people may know that thou
art the LORD God and
that thou shalt convert their heart back again
to thee.
38

was in the trench.
39

there is a sound of abundance of rain.
42
So Ahab went up to eat and to drink. And Elijah went up to the top of Carmel, and he cast himself down upon the earth and put his face between his knees
