1 Kings 18:30-35

New King James Version

³⁰ Then Elijah said to all the people, “Come near to me.” So all the people came near to him. ^(A)And he repaired the altar of the Lord that was broken down. ³¹ And Elijah took twelve stones, according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Jacob, to whom the word of the Lord had come, saying, ^(B)“Israel shall be your name.” ³² Then with the stones he built an altar ^(C)in the name of the Lord; and he made a trench around the altar large enough to hold two seahs of seed. ³³ And he ^(D)put the wood in order, cut the bull in pieces, and laid it on the wood, and said, “Fill four waterpots with water, and ^(E)pour it on the burnt sacrifice and on the wood.” ³⁴ Then he said, “Do it a second time,” and they did it a second time; and he said, “Do it a third time,” and they did it a third time. ³⁵ So the water ran all around the altar; and he also filled ^(F)the trench with water.
