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 — Elijah generously permits the Baal prophets to go first and acknowledges their numerical advantage. The phrase shows prophetic confidence: Elijah will not go first, yet he remains assured of victory.
