Even before they burned the fat, the priest’s attendant would come and say to the person who was making the sacrifice, “Hand over some meat for the priest to roast! He won’t take boiled meat from you, but only raw.” ¹ 

Do not eat it raw ¹  or boiled in water, but roast it over the fire with its head, its legs, and its entrails.

You must cook ¹  and eat it in the place the Lord your God chooses; you may return the next morning to your tents.

Half of it he burns in the fire – over that half he cooks ¹  meat; he roasts a meal and fills himself. Yes, he warms himself and says, ‘Ah! I am warm as I look at the fire.’

They will eat the meat the same night; ¹  they will eat it roasted over the fire with bread made without yeast ²  and with bitter herbs.

“Come, eat ¹  some of my food, and drink some of the wine I have mixed. ² 

Bring ¹  the fattened calf ²  and kill it! Let us eat ³  and celebrate,

Elisha ¹  went back and took his pair of oxen and slaughtered them. He cooked the meat over a fire that he made by burning the harness and yoke. ²  He gave the people meat and they ate. Then he got up and followed Elijah and became his assistant.
