And Elijah took twelve stones, the number of the tribes of the sons of Jacob, to whom the Lord had said, Israel will be your name:

וַיִּקַּ֣ח (וַ) va “and”

And with the stones he made an altar to the name of the Lord; and he made a deep drain all round the altar, great enough to take two measures of seed.

וַיִּבְנֶ֧ה (וַ) va “and”וַיַּ֣עַשׂ (וַ) va “and”

And he put the wood in order, and, cutting up the ox, put it on the wood. Then he said, Get four vessels full of water and put it on the burned offering and on the wood. And he said, Do it a second time, and they did it a second time;

וַֽיַּעֲרֹ֖ךְ (וַֽ) va “and”וַיְנַתַּח֙ (וַ) va “and”וַיָּ֖שֶׂם (וַ) va “and”וַיֹּ֗אמֶר (וַ) va “and”

And he said, Do it a third time, and they did it a third time.

And the water went all round the altar, till the drain was full.

וַיֵּלְכ֣וּ (וַ) va “and”

Then at the time of the offering, Elijah the prophet came near and said, O Lord, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Israel, let it be seen this day that you are God in Israel, and that I am your servant, and that I have done all these things by your or

וַיְהִ֣י׀ (וַ) va “and”וַיִּגַּ֞שׁ (וַ) va “and”וַיֹּאמַר֒ (וַ) va “and”

Then the fire of the Lord came down, burning up the offering and the wood and the stones and the dust, and drinking up the water in the drain.

וַתִּפֹּ֣ל (וַ) va. “and”וַתֹּ֤אכַל (וַ) va. “and”

וַיַּרְא֙ (וַ) va “and”וַֽיִּפְּל֖וּ (וַֽ) va “and”וַיֹּ֣אמְר֔וּ (וַ) va “and”

And Elijah said to them, Take the prophets of Baal, let not one of them get away. So they took them, and Elijah made them go down to the stream Kishon, and put them to death there.

וַיֹּאמֶר֩ (וַ) va “and”וַֽיִּתְפְּשׂ֑וּם (וַֽ) va “and”וַיּוֹרִדֵ֤ם (וַ) va “and”וַיִּשְׁחָטֵ֖ם (וַ) va “and”

Then Elijah said to Ahab, Up! take food and drink, for there is a sound of much rain.

וַיֹּ֤אמֶר (וַ) va “and”

So Ahab went up to have food and drink, while Elijah went up to the top of Carmel; and he went down on the earth, putting his face between his knees.

וַיַּעֲלֶ֥ה (וַ) va “and”וַיִּגְהַ֣ר (וַ) va “and”וַיָּ֥שֶׂם (וַ) va “and”

And he said to his servant, Go now, and take a look in the direction of the sea. And he went up, and after looking said, There is nothing. And he said, Go again seven times; and he went seven times.

וַיֹּ֣אמֶר (וַ) va “and”וַיַּ֙עַל֙ (וַ) va “and”וַיַּבֵּ֔ט (וַ) va “and”וַיֹּ֖אמֶר (וַ) va “and”וַיֹּ֕אמֶר (וַ) va “and”

And the seventh time he said, I see a cloud coming up out of the sea, as small as a man's hand. Then he said, Go up and say to Ahab, Get your carriage ready and go down or the rain will keep you back.

וַֽיְהִי֙ (וַֽ) va “and”וַיֹּ֗אמֶר (וַ) va “and”וַיֹּ֗אמֶר (וַ) va “and”

And after a very little time, the heaven became black with clouds and wind, and there was a great rain. And Ahab went in his carriage to Jezreel.

וַיְהִ֣י׀ (וַ) va “and”וַיְהִ֖י (וַ) va “and”וַיִּרְכַּ֥ב (וַ) va “and”וַיֵּ֥לֶךְ (וַ) va “and”

And the hand of the Lord was on Elijah; and he made himself strong, and went running before Ahab till they came to Jezreel.

וַיְשַׁנֵּ֖ס (וַ) va “and”וַיָּ֙רָץ֙ (וַ) va “and”

Ahab gave Jezebel news of all Elijah had done, and how he had put all the prophets to death with the sword.

וַיַּגֵּ֤ד (וַ) va “and”

Then Jezebel sent a servant to Elijah, saying, May the gods' punishment be on me if I do not make your life like the life of one of them by tomorrow about this time.

וַתִּשְׁלַ֤ח (וַ) va. “and”

And he got up, fearing for his life, and went in flight, and came to Beer-sheba in Judah, parting there from his servant;

וַיַּ֗רְא (וַ) va “and”וַיָּ֙קָם֙ (וַ) va “and”וַיֵּ֣לֶךְ (וַ) va “and”וַיָּבֹ֕א (וַ) va “and”וַיַּנַּ֥ח (וַ) va “and”

While he himself went a day's journey into the waste land, and took a seat under a broom-plant, desiring for himself only death; for he said, It is enough: now, O Lord, take away my life, for I am no better than my fathers.

וַיָּבֹ֕א (וַ) va “and”וַיֵּ֕שֶׁב (וַ) va “and”וַיִּשְׁאַ֤ל (וַ) va “and”וַיֹּ֣אמֶר׀ (וַ) va “and”

And stretching himself on the earth, he went to sleep under the broom-plant; but an angel, touching him, said to him, Get up and have some food.

וַיִּשְׁכַּב֙ (וַ) va “and”וַיִּישַׁ֔ן (וַ) va “and”וַיֹּ֥אמֶר (וַ) va “and”

And looking up, he saw by his head a cake cooked on the stones and a bottle of water. So he took food and drink and went to sleep again.

וַיַּבֵּ֕ט (וַ) va “and”וַיֹּ֣אכַל (וַ) va “and”וַיֵּ֔שְׁתְּ (וַ) va “and”וַיָּ֖שָׁב (וַ) va “and”וַיִּשְׁכָּֽב׃ (וַ) va “and”

And the angel of the Lord came again a second time, and touching him said, Get up and have some food, or the journey will be overmuch for your strength.

וַיָּשָׁב֩ (וַ) va “and”וַיִּגַּע־ (וַ) va “and”וַיֹּ֖אמֶר (וַ) va “and”

So he got up and took food and drink, and in the strength of that food he went on for forty days and nights, to Horeb, the mountain of God.

וַיָּ֖קָם (וַ) va “and”וַיֹּ֣אכַל (וַ) va “and”וַיִּשְׁתֶּ֑ה (וַ) va “and”וַיֵּ֜לֶךְ (וַ) va “and”

And there he went into a hole in the rock for the night; then the word of the Lord came to him, saying, What are you doing here, Elijah?

וַיָּבֹא־ (וַ) va “and”וַיָּ֣לֶן (וַ) va “and”וַיֹּ֣אמֶר (וַ) va “and”
