1 Kings 18:26

So they took a bull, as he had suggested, ¹  and prepared it. They invoked the name of Baal from morning until noon, saying, “Baal, answer us.” But there was no sound and no answer. They jumped ²  around on the altar they had made. ³ 

1Ki 18:24; Ps 115:4-8; Ps 135:15-20; Isa 37:38; Isa 44:17; Isa 45:20; Jer 10:5; Da 5:23; Hab 2:18; Zep 1:9; Mt 6:7; 1Co 8:4; 1Co 10:19,20; 1Co 12:2

¹ tn Heb “and they took the bull which he allowed them.”

² tn Heb “limped” (the same verb is used in v. 21).

³ tc The MT has “which he made,” but some medieval Hebrew mss and the ancient versions have the plural form of the verb.
