1 Kings 18:30-32

Contemporary English Version

³⁰ Elijah told everyone to gather around him while he repaired the Lord's altar. ^31-32 (A) Then he used twelve stones to build an altar in honor of the Lord. Each stone stood for one of the tribes of Israel, which was the name the Lord had given to their ancestor Jacob. Elijah dug a ditch around the altar, large enough to hold about 14 liters.
