1 Kings 18:32-34

New Catholic Bible

³² With the stones he built an altar to the name of the Lord. He dug a trench around the altar deep enough to hold two measures of seed. ³³ He piled up the wood, and cut up the ox into pieces. He laid them on the wood and said, “Fill four barrels with water and pour them on the burnt sacrifice and the wood.” ³⁴ Then he said, “Do it a second time,” and they did it a second time. Then he said, “Do it a third time,” and they did it a third time.
