It is described as a flattened cone, about 2,000 feet (some say 1,500) in height, very rocky, its sides steep and rugged, and the soil neither deep nor rich. Capt. Mangles says its is now quite barren, though at the north-eastern foot of it there are some pretty olive-grounds.

Both Tacitus and Suetonius mention an altar on mount Carmel, which Vespasian went to consult: there was no temple nor statue, but simply an altar, venerable for its antiquity.\ntwelve stones: Exo 24:4; Jos 4:3, Jos 4:4, Jos 4:20; Ezr 6:17; Jer 31:1; Eze 37:16-22, Eze 47:13; Eph 2:20, Eph 4:4-6; Rev 7:4-8, Rev 21:12\nsaying: Gen 32:28, Gen 33:20, Gen 35:10; Kg2 17:34; Isa 48:1\nAnd with: Exo 20:24, Exo 20:25; Jdg 6:26, Jdg 21:4; Sa1 7:9, Sa1 7:17\nin the name: Co1 10:31; Col 3:17\nFill four: Dan 3:19, Dan 3:25; Joh 11:39, Joh 11:40, Joh 19:33, Joh 19:34\npour it: Jdg 6:20\nDo it the second: Co2 4:2, Co2 8:21\nran: Heb. went\nthe trench: Kg1 18:32, Kg1 18:38\nat the time: Kg1 18:29; Exo 29:39-41; Ezr 9:4, Ezr 9:5; Psa 141:2; Dan 8:13, Dan 9:21, Dan 12:11; Act 3:1; Act 10:30\nLord God: Kg1 18:21; Gen 26:24, Gen 31:53, Gen 32:9, Gen 46:3; Exo 3:6, Exo 3:15, Exo 3:16; Ch1 29:18; Ch2 20:6, Ch2 20:7; Eph 1:17, Eph 3:14\nlet it: Kg1 8:43; Sa1 17:46, Sa1 17:47; Kg2 1:3, Kg2 1:6, Kg2 5:15, Kg2 19:19; Psa 67:1, Psa 67:2, Psa 83:18; Eze 36:23, Eze 39:7\nand that I have: Kg1 22:28; Num 16:28-30; Joh 11:42\nHear me: Kg1 18:24, Kg1 18:29, Kg1 18:36; Gen 32:24, Gen 32:26, Gen 32:28; Ch2 14:11, Ch2 32:19, Ch2 32:20; Isa 37:17-20; Dan 9:17-19; Luk 11:8; Jam 5:16, Jam 5:17\nthou hast turned: Jer 31:18, Jer 31:19; Eze 36:25-27; Mal 4:5, Mal 4:6; Luk 1:16, Luk 1:17\nThen the: Gen 15:17; Lev 9:24; Jdg 6:21; Ch1 21:26; Ch2 7:1\nfire: Kg1 18:24; Lev 10:2; Kg2 1:12; Job 1:16; Isa 31:9\nthey fell: Jdg 13:20; Ch1 21:16; Ch2 7:3\nThe Lord: Kg1 18:21, Kg1 18:24; Joh 5:35; Act 2:37, Act 4:16\nTake: or, Apprehend, Kg2 10:25\nKishon: Jdg 5:21\nslew them there: Deu 13:5, Deu 18:20; Jer 48:10; Zac 13:2, Zac 13:3; Rev 19:20, Rev 20:10\na sound: etc. or, a sound of a noise of rain, Kg1 18:1, Kg1 17:1\nElijah: Kg1 18:19; Mat 14:23; Luk 6:12; Act 10:9\nhe cast himself: Gen 24:52; Jos 7:6; Sa2 12:16; Dan 9:3; Mar 14:35; Jam 5:16-18\nput his face: Kg1 19:13; Ezr 9:6; Psa 89:7; Isa 6:2, Isa 38:2; Dan 9:7\nGo again: Gen 32:26; Hab 2:3; Luk 18:7; Eph 6:18; Heb 10:36, Heb 10:37\na little cloud: Kekaph ish, \"like the hollow of a man's hand;\" in the form of a hand bent, the concave side downmost. Mr. Bruce mentions a similar cloud in Abyssinia, as attending the inundation of the Nile. \"Every morning, about nine, a small cloud, not above four feet broad, appears in the east, whirling violently round, as if upon an axis; but arrived near the zenith, it first abates its motion, then loses its form, and extends itself greatly, and seems to call up vapours from all opposite quarters. These clouds having attained nearly the same height, rush against each other with great violence, and put me always in mind of Elijah foretelling rain on Mount Carmel.\" Job 8:7; Zac 4:10\nPrepare: Heb.
