1 Kings 18:26

26 So they took a bull, as he had suggested, ^{▼▼ Heb “and they took the bull which he allowed them.”} and prepared it. They invoked the name of Baal from morning until noon, saying, “Baal, answer us.” But there was no sound and no answer. They jumped ^{▼▼ Heb “limped” (the same verb is used in v. 21).} around on the altar they had made. ^{▼▼ The MT has “which he made,” but some medieval Hebrew mss and the ancient versions have the plural form of the verb.}
