And they cried aloud, and cut themselves after their manner with knives and lancets, till the blood gushed out upon them.
Entonces gritaron más fuerte y se cortaron con cuchillos y herramientas afiladas, como era su costumbre, hasta que la sangre les corrió por todo el cuerpo.
Los profetas de Baal se hirieron a sí mismos en su desesperación por obtener respuesta de su dios.
📚 Contexto Histórico
In the biblical narrative, this verse occurs during a dramatic confrontation on Mount Carmel between the prophet Elijah and the prophets of Baal, as described in the book of 1 Kings. King Ahab had led Israel into widespread idolatry, influenced by his wife Jezebel, who promoted the worship of Baal. The prophets of Baal cut themselves as a ritualistic practice to invoke their god, which was common in ancient Canaanite religions but was explicitly forbidden in Israelite law as outlined in the Torah.
