Elijah mocking Baal
KJV
And it came to pass at noon, that Elijah mocked them,
and said,
Cry aloud:
for he is a god;
either he is talking,
or he is pursuing,
or he is in a journey,
or peradventure he sleepeth, and must be awaked.
1 Kings 18:27 KJV
and said,
Cry aloud:
for he is a god;
either he is talking,
or he is pursuing,
or he is in a journey,
or peradventure he sleepeth, and must be awaked.
1 Kings 18:27 KJV
Correct Translation
At noon, Elijah began making fun of them.
Pray louder! he said.
Baal must be a god.
Maybe he’s day-dreaming
or using the toilet
or traveling somewhere.
Or maybe he’s asleep, and you have to wake him up.
1 Kings 18:27 CEV
