33 And he Gen. 22:9; Lev. 1:6–8put the wood in order, cut the bull in pieces, and laid it on the wood, and said, "Fill four waterpots with water, and Judg. 6:20pour 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 1 Kin. 18:32, 38the trench with water.
36 And it came to pass, at thetimeof the offering of the evening sacrifice, that Elijah the prophet came near and said, "LordGen. 28:13; Ex. 3:6; 4:5; (Matt. 22:32)God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, 1 Kin. 8:43; 2 Kin. 19:19let it be known this day that You are God in Israel and I am Your servant, and thatNum. 16:28I have done all these things at Your word. 37 Hear me, O Lord, hear me, that this people may know that You are the Lord God, and that You have turned their hearts back toYou again."
38 Then Gen. 15:17; Lev. 9:24; 10:1, 2; Judg. 6:21; 2 Kin. 1:12; 1 Chr. 21:26; 2 Chr. 7:1; Job 1:16the fire of the Lord fell and consumed the burnt sacrifice, and the wood and the stones and the dust, and it licked up the water that was in the trench.
