And he said, “Do it a third time.” And they did it a third time. 35And the water ran around the altar and filled the trench also with water. 36And at the time of rthe offering of the oblation, Elijah the prophet came near and said, “O Lord, sGod of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, let it be known this day that tyou are God in Israel, and that I am your servant, and that uI have done all these things at your word. 37Answer me, O Lord, answer me, that this people may know that you, O Lord, are God, and that you have turned their hearts back.” 38 vThen the fire of the Lord fell and consumed the burnt offering and the wood and the stones and the dust, and licked up the water that was in the trench.
