30. Then Elijah said to all the people, "Come near to me." So all the people came near to him. And he repaired the altar of the Lord which had been torn down.
31. Elijah took twelve stones according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Jacob, to whom the word of the Lord had come, saying, "Israel shall be your name."
32. So with the stones he built an altar in the name of the Lord, and he made a trench around the altar, large enough to hold two measures of seed.
33. Then he arranged the wood and cut the ox in pieces and laid it on the wood.
