Eliyahu said to the prophets of Ba`al, *Choose one bull for yourselves, and dress it first; for you are many; and call on the name of your god, but put no fire under it.*
You call on the name of your god, and I will call on the name of the LORD; and the God who answers by fire, let him be God.* All the people answered, *It is well said.*
They took the bull which was given them, and they dressed it, and called on the name of Ba`al from morning even until noon, saying, Ba`al, hear us. But there was no voice, nor any who answered. They leaped about the altar which was made.
Moshe said to Par`oh, *I give you the honor of setting the time that I should pray for you, and for your servants, and for your people, that the frogs be destroyed from you and your houses, and remain in the river only.*
