1 Kings 18:26

And they took the bullock which was given them [Heb. which he (or one ) gave ; i.e; they declined to choose], and they dressed it, and called on the name of from morning even until noon, saying, O Baal, hear us [Heb. answer us . Same word as below. They thought they would be heard for their much speaking]. But there was no voice [Heb. and not a voice ] , nor any that answered. And they leaped [or limped . Same word as that translated "halt" in verse 21. Gesenius thinks the word is "used scornfully of the awkward dancing of the priests of Baal."

But some MSS . and most versions read עָשׁוּ ].
