was in the way, behold, Elijah met him: and he knew him, and fell on his face, and said, art thou that my lord Elijah ? and he answered him, I am: go tell thy lord, behold, Elijah is here. And he said, what have I sinned, that thou wouldest deliver thy servant into the hand of Ahab, to slay me? as the Lord thy God liveth, there is no nation or kingdom whither my lord hath not sent to seek thee: and when they said, he is not there; he took an oath of the kingdom and nation, that they found thee not. And now thou sayest, go tell thy lord, behold, Elijah is here. And it shall come to pass, as soon as I am gone from thee, that the Spirit of the Lord shall carry thee whither I know not; and so when I come, and tell Ahab, and he cannot find thee, he shall slay me: but I thy servant fear the Lord from my youth. Was it not told my lord, what I did when Jezebel slew the prophets of the Lord ? how I hid an hundred men of the Lord's prophets, by fifty in a cave, and fed them with bread and water and now thou sayest, go tell thy lord, behold, Elijah is here: and he shall slay me. And Elijah said, as the Lord of hosts liveth, before_whom I stand, I will surely shew myself unto him to-day. So Obadiah went to meet Ahab, and told him: and Ahab went to meet Elijah. And it came to pass when Ahab saw Elijah, that Ahab said unto him, art thou he that troubleth Israel? and he answered, I have not troubled Israel, but thou and thy father's house, in that ye have forsaken the commandments of the Lord, and thou hast. followed Baalim. Now therefore send, and gather to me all Israel unto mount Carmel, and the prophets of Baal four hundred and fifty, and the prophets of the groves four hundred, which eat at Jezebel's table.

l'auyishloch Ahab. So Abab sent unto all the children of Israel,

and gathered the prophets together unto mount Carmel. Add Elijah came unto all the people, and said, how long halt ye between two opinions? if the Lord be God, follow him: but if Baal, then follow him. And the people answered him not a word. Then said Elijah unto the people, I, even I only remain a prophet of

approach unto me, to minister unto me, saith the Lord God, a young bullock for a sin-offering. And thou shalt take of the blood thereof, and put it on the four horns of it, and on the four corners of the settle, and upon the border round about : thus shalt thou cleanse and purge it. Thou shalt take the bullock also of the sin-offering, and he shall burn it in the appointed place of the house, without the sanctuary. And on the second day thou shalt offer a kid of the goats without blemish for a sin-offering, and they shall cleanse the altar, as they did cleanse it with the bullock. When thou hast made an end of cleansing it, thou shalt offer a young bullock without blemish, and a ram out of the flock without blemish. And thou shalt offer them before the Lord, and the priest shall cast salt upon them, and they shall offer them up for a burnt-offering unto the Lord. Seven days shalt thou prepare every day a goat for a sin-offering: they shall also prepare a young bullock, and a ram out of the flock without blemish. Seven days shall they purge the altar and purify it, and they shall consecrate themselves. And when these days are expired, it shall be that upon the eighth day, and so forward, the priests shall make your burnt-offerings upon the altar, and your peace-offerings; and I will accept you, saith the Lord God.

Vauyihee Yoemim And it came to pass after many days, that the Raubim. word of the Lord came to Elijah in the third

year, saying, go shew thyself unto Ahab; and I will send rain upon the earth. And Elijah went to shew himself unto Ahab : and there was a sore famine in Samaria. And Ahab called Obadiah which was the goyernor of his house : (now Obadiah feared the Lord greatly : for it was so, when Jezebel cut off the prophets of the Lord, that Obadiah took an hundred prophets, and hid them by fifty in a cave, and fed them with bread and water.) And Ahab said unto Obadiah, go into the land, unto all fountains of water, and unto all brooks : peradventure we may find grass to save the horses and mules alive, that we loose not all the beasts. So they divided the land between them to pass throughout it, Ahab went one way by himself, and 'Obadiah went another way by himself. And as Obadiah

HAPHTARAH TY-SAVEH;

EZEKIEL, CHAP. XLIII.

Auttah Ben Odom. Thou son of man, shew the house to the house

of Israel, that they may be ashamed of their iniquities; and let them measure the pattern. And if they be ashamed of all that they have done, shew them the form of the house, and the fashion thereof, and the goings out thereof, and the comings in thereof, and all the forms thereof, and all the ordinances thereof, and all the forms thereof, and all the laws thereof: and write it in their sight, that they may keep the whole form thereof, and all the ordinances thereof, and do them. This is the law of the house; upon the top of the mountain, the whole limit thereof round about shall be most holy: behold, this is the law of the house. And these are the measures of the altar after the cubits; the cubit is a cubit and an handbreadth ; éven the bottom shall be a cubit, and the breadth a cubit, and the border thereof by the edge thereof round about shall be a span, and this shall be the higher place of the altar, and from the bottom upon the ground, even to the lower settle, shall be two cubits, and the breadth one cubit; and from the lesser settle even to the greater settle shall bę four cubits, and the breadth one cubit. So the altar shall be four cubits, and from the altar and upward shall be four horns. And the altar shall be twelve cubits long, twelve broad, square in the four squares thereof. And the settle shall be fourteen cubits long, and fourteen broad in the four squares thereof: and the border about it shall be half a cubit, and the bottom thereof shall be a cubit about, and his stairs shall look toward the east. And he said unto me, son of map, thus saith the Lord God, these are the ordinances of the altar, in the day when they shall make it, to offer burnt. offerings thereon, and to sprinkle blood 'thereon, and thou shalt give to the priests the Levites that be of the seed of Zadok, which
