And he put the wood in order, and cut the bullock in pieces, and laid him on the wood, and said, Fill four barrels with water, and pour it on the burnt sacrifice, and on the wood — Elijah arranges the sacrifice and commands water to be poured on the offering and wood. The phrase shows his deliberate action to make divine response more miraculous: fire will need to consume water-soaked fuel.
