1 Reis 18:32 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 18:32

And with the stones he built an altar in the same of the Lord,
&c.] Whom the twelve tribes had formerly worshipped; and though now divided in their civil state, yet ought to be united in the worship of God:

and he made a trench about the altar, as great as would contain two
measures of seed;
or two seahs, one of which was the third part of an ephah, and two of them were more than half a bushel; and this trench or ditch round the altar was as broad as such a measure of seed would sow.

30 Então Elias disse a todo o povo: “Aproximem-se de mim”. O povo aproximou-se, e Elias reparou o altar do SENHOR, que estava em ruínas.
31 Depois apanhou doze pedras, uma para cada tribo dos descendentes de Jacó, a quem a palavra do SENHOR tinha sido dirigida, dizendo-lhe: “Seu nome será Israel”.
32 Com as pedras construiu um altar em honra ao nome do SENHOR e cavou ao redor do altar uma valeta na qual poderiam ser semeadas duas medidas de sementes.
33 Depois arrumou a lenha, cortou o novilho em pedaços e o pôs sobre a lenha. Então lhes disse: “Encham de água quatro jarras grandes e derramem-na sobre o holocausto e sobre a lenha”.
34 “Façam-no novamente”, disse, e eles o fizeram de novo.“Façam-no pela terceira vez”, ordenou, e eles o fizeram pela terceira vez.
