Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerse 21. - There rose up fire, etc. The consuming of the sacrifice by fire from heaven was the token of its being accepted (cf. Judges 13:20, 23; also 1 Kings 18:23, 33, 38; 1 Chronicles 21:26). The angel of the Lord departed, etc. In the very similar case of the angel who appeared to Manoah (Judges 13:15-20), the angel ascended in the flame of the altar. It is probable that he did so in the present instance, though it is not expressly stated how he disappeared (cf. Acts 8:39).
Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(21) The staff that was in his hand.--The ordinary accompaniment of an Eastern traveller (Genesis 32:10; Matthew 10:10).There rose up fire.--The common sign of God's presence and of His acceptance of an offering. (See Leviticus 9:24; 1Kings 18:24; 1Chronicles 21:26; 2Chronicles 7:1.) Water is brought out of the rock for the blessing of man, and fire to show the presence of God. . . .
