In the context of the Old Testament, fire often symbolizes God's holiness and power, as seen in <a href="/exodus/3-2.htm">Exodus 3:2</a> with the burning bush and in <a href="/1_kings/18-38.htm">1 Kings 18:38</a> with Elijah's sacrifice. The fire coming from the LORD indicates His acceptance of the offerings and His presence among the Israelites, affirming the consecration of Aaron and his sons as priests.and consumed the burnt offering and the fat portions on the altar. The consumption of the offering by divine fire demonstrates God's acceptance of the sacrifice. The burnt offering, a key element of the Levitical sacrificial system, symbolizes atonement and dedication to God. The fat portions, considered the best part of the animal, were reserved for God alone (<a href="/leviticus/3-16.htm">Leviticus 3:16</a>). This act prefigures the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus Christ, who offered Himself wholly to God for the atonement of humanity's sins (<a href="/hebrews/10-10.htm">Hebrews 10:10</a>).And when all the people saw it, The witnessing of this event by the entire assembly underscores the communal aspect of worship and the importance of public acknowledgment of God's presence and power. It serves as a reminder of the collective responsibility of the Israelites to uphold the covenant with God.they shouted for joy The people's reaction of joy reflects their recognition of God's favor and the successful inauguration of the priestly ministry. This joy is akin to the rejoicing seen in other biblical instances of divine intervention and blessing, such as the return of the Ark of the Covenant in <a href="/1_samuel/6-13.htm">1 Samuel 6:13</a>.and fell facedown. Falling facedown is an act of worship, reverence, and submission, acknowledging God's holiness and authority. This posture is seen throughout Scripture in moments of divine revelation or presence, such as in <a href="/genesis/17-3.htm">Genesis 17:3</a> with Abraham and in <a href="/revelation/7-11.htm">Revelation 7:11</a> with the angels.

In this manner God afterwards testified His acceptance of the sacrifice of Gideon (<a href="/context/judges/6-20.htm" title="And the angel of God said to him, Take the flesh and the unleavened cakes, and lay them on this rock, and pour out the broth. And he did so.">Judges 6:20-21</a>), of Elijah, (<a href="/1_kings/18-28.htm" title="And they cried aloud, and cut themselves after their manner with knives and lancets, till the blood gushed out on them.">1Kings 18:28</a>), and of the sacrifices of Solomon at the dedication of the Temple (<a href="/context/2_chronicles/7-1.htm" title="Now when Solomon had made an end of praying, the fire came down from heaven, and consumed the burnt offering and the sacrifices; and the glory of the LORD filled the house.">2Chronicles 7:1-2</a>). Tradition assures us that the sacred fire which thus issued forth from the immediate presence of God continued to be nourished on the altar with the fuel especially provided by the congregation, and constituted the perpetual fire. (See <a href="/leviticus/6-13.htm" title="The fire shall ever be burning on the altar; it shall never go out.">Leviticus 6:13</a>.)They shouted, and fell on their faces.--On seeing these visible tokens of the Divine acceptance of the services, the people expressed their thankfulness in the same manner as they showed it on a similar occasion. Thus we are told--"When all the sons of Israel saw how the fire came down, and the glory of the Lord shone upon the house, they bowed themselves with their faces to the ground upon the pavement, and worshipped and praised the Lord, saying, For he is good, for his mercy endureth for ever" (<a href="/2_chronicles/27-3.htm" title="He built the high gate of the house of the LORD, and on the wall of Ophel he built much.">2Chronicles 27:3</a>). . . . <div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/leviticus/9.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div>Verse 24. - And there came a fire out from before the Lord. The sacrifices were already smouldering on the altar, a ram, a calf, and a lamb, besides the internal fat of a young bull, a kid, a bullock, and a ram, and a handful of flour. They would have continued smouldering all the day and the night, but a miraculous fire issued from the tabernacle, and consumed the whole in the sight of the people. So fire fell and consumed Solomon's sacrifice at the dedication of the temple. Jewish tradition reports that the fire was always kept alive until the reign of Manasseh, when it became extinguished. When the people saw this sight, they shouted, and fell on their faces. They had been standing in a state of intense expectation, awaiting the fulfillment of the promise that the Lord would appear unto them today, and watching the acts of the two brothers; and their feelings are now raised to the utmost enthusiasm and awe by the appearance of the glory of the Lord and the notion of the Divine fire.
