Kabbalah zu Könige I 18:30
וַיֹּ֨אמֶר אֵלִיָּ֤הוּ לְכָל־הָעָם֙ גְּשׁ֣וּ אֵלַ֔י וַיִּגְּשׁ֥וּ כָל־הָעָ֖ם אֵלָ֑יו וַיְרַפֵּ֛א אֶת־מִזְבַּ֥ח יְהוָ֖ה הֶהָרֽוּס׃
Und Elia sprach zu dem ganzen Volk: 'Komm zu mir';; und alles Volk kam ihm nahe. Und er reparierte den Altar des HERRN, der niedergeworfen wurde.
Zohar
Rabbi Yehuda was sitting before Rabbi Shimon, and both were studying the text, in which it is written: "And he repaired the altar of Hashem that was broken down" (I Kings 18:30). What is the meaning of the term 'repaired' in this verse? Come and behold: "In the days of Elijah, all Yisrael left the Holy One, blessed be He, and in so doing, left their holy covenant. And when Elijah came and saw that the children of Yisrael had left the holy covenant and therefore it had been taken away from them (he fixed it and returned in to its place).
