1 Reyes 18:30 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 18:30

And Elijah said unto all the people, come near unto me
And observe what I do, and what will be done at my request:

and all the people came near unto him;
left the prophets of Baal to themselves, and took no more notice of them, but attended to what the prophet should say and do:

and he repaired the altar of the Lord that was broken down;
which had been set up when high places and altars were allowed of, while the tabernacle was unsettled, and the temple not built; this is supposed to have been erected in the times of the judges; though, according to a tradition of the Jews F4, it was built by Saul, see ( 1 Samuel 15:12 ) but had been thrown down by the idolatrous Israelites, who demolished such as were erected to the name of the Lord everywhere, and built new ones for their idols, ( 1 Kings 19:10 ) . Benjamin of Tudela F5 says, that on the top of Mount Carmel is now to be seen the place of the altar Elijah repaired, which is four cubits round.

1 Reyes 18:30 In-Context

28 Comenzaron entonces a gritar m谩s fuerte y, como era su costumbre, se cortaron con cuchillos y dagas hasta quedar ba帽ados en sangre.
29 Pas贸 el mediod铆a, y siguieron en este trance prof茅tico hasta la hora del sacrificio vespertino. Pero no se escuch贸 nada, pues nadie respondi贸 ni prest贸 atenci贸n.
30 Entonces El铆as le dijo a la gente:鈥斅c茅rquense!As铆 lo hicieron. Como hab铆an dejado en ruinas el altar del SE脩OR, El铆as lo repar贸.
31 Luego recogi贸 doce piedras, una por cada tribu descendiente de Jacob, a quien el SE脩OR le hab铆a puesto por nombre Israel.
32 Con las piedras construy贸 un altar en honor del SE脩OR, y alrededor cav贸 una zanja en que cab铆an quince litros de cereal.
