Then the angel of Yahweh put forth the end of the staff that was in his hand, and touched the flesh and the unleavened cakes; and there went up fire out of the rock, and consumed the flesh and the unleavened cakes; and the angel of Yahweh departed out of his sight.
When he had built his altar he called it “﻿Jehovah-shalom,﻿” which was done by way of thanksgiving for peace received. The inscription declares that “﻿Jehovah is our peace.﻿” Blessed be his name this day. We have entered on the battles of peace, for the Lord God is with us, and with his people we will go forth to win the peace which he has promised. It was a psalm in two words; it was a song of one verse, infinitely sweet. “﻿Jehovah-shalom﻿”: the Lord our peace.
