- જે બળદ તેમને આપવામાં આવ્યો હતો તેને તેઓએ તૈયાર કર્યો અને સવારથી તે બપોર સુધી બઆલના નામે વિનંતી કર્યા કરી કે “ઓ બાલ, અમને જવાબ આપ.” પણ ત્યાં કોઈ અવાજ ન હતો અને જવાબ આપનાર પણ કોઈ ન હતું. જે વેદી તેઓએ બાંધી હતી તેના ફરતે ગોળાકારે નૃત્ય પણ કર્યુ.

- तब उन्होंने उस बछड़े को जो उन्हें दिया गया था लेकर तैयार किया, और भोर से लेकर दोपहर तक वह यह कहकर बाल से प्रार्थना करते रहे, “हे बाल हमारी सुन, हे बाल हमारी सुन!” परन्तु न कोई शब्द और न कोई उत्तर देनेवाला हुआ। तब वे अपनी बनाई हुई वेदी पर उछलने कूदने लगे।
