1 Kings 18:31-33

The Voice

³¹ Elijah gathered 12 stones, one for each of Jacob’s tribes. Jacob was the one who wrestled with God and whom the word of the Eternal One visited, saying, “Your name will be Israel.”

³² Elijah took the 12 stones and constructed an altar in honor of the Eternal One and carved a ditch out around it large enough to hold 13 quarts of seed. ³³ He set up the wood, chopped up the bull, and placed it on top of the wood.
