The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from King James Bible: bullock for yourselves, and dress it first; for ye are many; and call on
the name of your gods, but put no fire under.
KI1 18:26 And they took the bullock which was given them, and they
dressed it, and called on the name of Baal from morning even until noon,
saying, O Baal, hear us. But there was no voice, nor any that answered.
And they leaped upon the altar which was made.
KI1 18:27 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.
KI1 18:28 And they cried aloud, and cut themselves after their manner
