23 Tragam dois novilhos. Escolham eles um, cortem-no em pedaços e o ponham sobre a lenha, mas não acendam fogo. Eu prepararei o outro novilho e o colocarei sobre a lenha, e também não acenderei fogo nela.

1 Reis 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 Reis 18:23 In-Context

21 Elias dirigiu-se ao povo e disse: “AtĂ© quando vocĂȘs vĂŁo oscilar para um lado e para o outro? Se o SENHOR Ă© Deus, sigam-no; mas, se Baal Ă© Deus, sigam-no”.O povo, porĂ©m, nada respondeu.
22 Disse entĂŁo Elias: “Eu sou o Ășnico que restou dos profetas do SENHOR, mas Baal tem quatrocentos e cinquenta profetas.
23 Tragam dois novilhos. Escolham eles um, cortem-no em pedaços e o ponham sobre a lenha, mas não acendam fogo. Eu prepararei o outro novilho e o colocarei sobre a lenha, e também não acenderei fogo nela.
24 EntĂŁo vocĂȘs invocarĂŁo o nome do seu deus, e eu invocarei o nome do SENHOR. O deus que responder por meio do fogo, esse Ă© Deus”.EntĂŁo todo o povo disse: “O que vocĂȘ disse Ă© bom”.
25 Elias disse aos profetas de Baal: “Escolham um dos novilhos e preparem-no primeiro, visto que vocĂȘs sĂŁo tantos. Clamem pelo nome do seu deus, mas nĂŁo acendam o fogo”.
