30 Elijah said to all the people, 'Draw near to me.' And as the people were drawing near to him, he repaired the altar of the Lord, which had been torn down.
31 And he took twelve stones, in accord with the number of the tribes of the sons of Jacob, to whom the word of the Lord came, saying, 'Israel shall be your name.'
32 And he built from the stones an altar to the name of the Lord. And he made a trench for water, like two furrows of plowed land, all around the altar.
33 And he arranged the wood, and he cut the ox into pieces, and he placed it on the wood.
