1 Kings 18:31-33

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

³¹ And he took twelve stones according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Jacob, to whom the word of the Lord came, saying: Israel shall be thy name.

³² And he built with the stones an altar to the name of the Lord: and he made a trench for water, of the breadth of two furrows round about the altar.

³³ And he laid the wood in order, and cut the bullock in pieces, and laid it upon the wood.
