1 Kings 18:26

18:26 So they took a bull, as he had suggested, ²  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 ³  around on the altar they had made. ⁴ 

[14:6]  ¹ tn Heb “I am sent to you [with] a hard [message].”

[18:26]  ² tn Heb “and they took the bull which he allowed them.”

[18:26]  ³ tn Heb “limped” (the same verb is used in v. 21).

[18:26]  ⁴ tc The MT has “which he made,” but some medieval Hebrew mss and the ancient versions have the plural form of the verb.
