came a fire] For the seven dayes of sacrifice before, Moses used fire, but after the eighth day, fire in a miraculous manner descended from above, and consumed the sacrifice; to testifie Gods approbation of the instituted Priesthood, and to breed more reverend acceptation of it among the people: this fire thus sent from heaven was to be kept continually burning, that it might never goe out, as God appointed, Chap. 6. and therefore it was charily carried in some vessell for the purpose; when they journeyed in the wildernesse; and so it continued untill the Temple of Solomon; and then fire came down again from heaven, 2 Chron. 7. 1. which continued untill the captivitie of Babylon, and after that it was said to have beene miraculously renued in the second of Macc. 1.
