^24 [a]Fire came forth from the Lord’s presence and consumed the burnt offering and the fat on the altar.^(A) Seeing this, all the people shouted with joy and fell prostrate.

²¹ the messenger of the Lord stretched out the tip of the staff he held. When he touched the meat and unleavened cakes, a fire came up from the rock and consumed the meat and unleavened cakes. Then the messenger of the Lord disappeared from sight.

³⁸ The Lord’s fire came down and devoured the burnt offering, wood, stones, and dust, and lapped up the water in the trench.

Chapter 7

^1 (A)When Solomon had ended his prayer, fire came down from heaven and consumed the burnt offerings and the sacrifices, and the glory of the Lord filled the house.

¹⁰ Just as Moses prayed to the Lord and fire descended from the sky and consumed the sacrifices, so also Solomon prayed and fire came down and consumed the burnt offerings.^{(A) 11 [a]}Moses had said, “Because it had not been eaten, the purification offering was consumed.”^{(B) 12} Solomon also celebrated the feast in the same way for eight days.
