And they took the bullock which was given them, and they dressed it, and called on the name of Baal from morning even until noon, saying, O Baal, hear us. But there was no voice, nor any that answered. And they leaped upon the altar which was made — The Baal prophets cry out all morning without response. The phrase shows their mounting desperation. The verb "leaped" suggests an increasingly frenzied, ecstatic ritual dance attempting to summon their god.
