    • 1 Kings 19:11-12 with Stone Tanach translation
      וַיֹּאמֶר, צֵא וְעָמַדְתָּ בָהָר לִפְנֵי יְהוָה, וְהִנֵּה יְהוָה עֹבֵר וְרוּחַ גְּדוֹלָה וְחָזָק מְפָרֵק הָרִים וּמְשַׁבֵּר סְלָעִים לִפְנֵי יְהוָה, לֹא בָרוּחַ יְהוָה; וְאַחַר הָרוּחַ רַעַשׁ, לֹא בָרַעַשׁ יְהוָה.
      וְאַחַר הָרַעַשׁ אֵשׁ, לֹא בָאֵשׁ יְהוָה; וְאַחַר הָאֵשׁ, קוֹל דְּמָמָה דַקָּה.
      [The word of God] then said, "Go out [of the cave] and stand on the mountain before Hashem." And behold Hashem was passing, and a great, powerful wind, smashing mountains and breaking rocks, went before Hashem. "Hashem is not in the wind!" [Elijah was told], After the wind came an earthquake. "Hashem is not in the earthquake."
      After the earthquake came a fire. "Hashem is not in the fire." After the fire came a still, thin sound.
