1 Kings 18:31-33

New International Version

³¹ Elijah took twelve stones, one for each of the tribes descended from Jacob, to whom the word of the Lord had come, saying, “Your name shall be Israel.”^{(A) 32} With the stones he built an altar in the name^(B) of the Lord, and he dug a trench around it large enough to hold two seahs^[a] of seed. ³³ He arranged^(C) the wood, cut the bull into pieces and laid it on the wood. Then he said to them, “Fill four large jars with water and pour it on the offering and on the wood.”
