What Elijah says when he comes near to all the people, and the people’s answer
엘리야가 모든 백성에게 가까이 나아가 한 말과 백성의 대답
1 Kings 18:21–24: Elijah comes near to all the people, and says, “How long will you waver between the two sides? If the LORD is God, follow him; but if Baal, then follow him.” The people don’t say a word. Then Elijah says to the people, “I, even I only, am left as a prophet of the LORD; but Baal’s prophets are four hundred fifty men. Let them therefore give us two bulls; and let them choose one bull for themselves, and cut it in pieces, and lay it on the wood, and put no fire under; and I will dress the other bull, and lay it on the wood, and put no fire under it. You call on the name of your god, and I will call on the LORD’s name. The God who answers by fire, let him be God.” All the people answer, “What you say is good.” The Korean Revised Version reads 송아지, a calf, where WEB reads “bull”.
