And Elijah said unto the prophets of Baal, Choose you one bullock for yourselves, and dress it first; for ye are many; and call on the name of your gods, but put no fire under.
Y Elías dijo a los profetas de Baal: 'Escojan un toro para ustedes y prepárenlo primero, ya que son muchos. Invoquen el nombre de sus dioses, pero no enciendan fuego debajo.'
Elías desafió a los profetas de Baal a invocar a sus dioses para encender el sacrificio sin usar fuego humano.
📚 Contexto Histórico
In the 9th century BC, during the reign of King Ahab of Israel, the nation was deeply divided by idolatry, with Queen Jezebel actively promoting the worship of Baal, a pagan deity associated with fertility and storms. Elijah, a faithful prophet of God, organized a dramatic confrontation on Mount Carmel to expose the futility of Baal worship and affirm the supremacy of the God of Israel. In this verse, Elijah challenges the prophets of Baal to prepare their sacrifice and call on their god to ignite it, emphasizing a fair test without human intervention like fire.
