1 Reyes 18:23 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 18:23

Let them therefore give us two bullocks
Who, being so many, were better able to be at the expense of them, and having the king on their party too; though perhaps no more is meant than that two bullocks should be brought thither, and presented before them:

and let them choose one bullock for themselves;
which of the two they would, if they thought one was any ways preferable to the other, it was at their option to take it:

and cut it in pieces, and lay it on wood;
as sacrifices usually were:

and put no fire under;
which was wont to be done for burnt offerings, as this was designed to be:

and I will dress the other bullock;
by slaying and cutting it in pieces;

and lay it on wood:
as for a burnt offering:

and put no fire under;
to consume it.

1 Reyes 18:23 In-Context

21 Elías se presentó ante el pueblo y dijo:—¿Hasta cuándo van a seguir indecisos? Si el Dios verdadero es el SEÑOR, deben seguirlo; pero si es Baal, síganlo a él.El pueblo no dijo una sola palabra.
22 Entonces Elías añadió:—Yo soy el único que ha quedado de los profetas del SEÑOR; en cambio, Baal cuenta con cuatrocientos cincuenta profetas.
23 Tráigannos dos bueyes. Que escojan ellos uno, lo descuarticen y pongan los pedazos sobre la leña, pero sin prenderle fuego. Yo prepararé el otro buey y lo pondré sobre la leña, pero tampoco le prenderé fuego.
24 Entonces invocarán ellos el nombre de su dios, y yo invocaré el nombre del SEÑOR. ¡El que responda con fuego, ese es el Dios verdadero!Y todo el pueblo estuvo de acuerdo.
25 Entonces Elías les dijo a los profetas de Baal:—Ya que ustedes son tantos, escojan uno de los bueyes y prepárenlo primero. Invoquen luego el nombre de su dios, pero no prendan fuego.
