“Then the angel of the Lord put forth the end of the staff that was in his hand, and touched the flesh and the unleavened cakes; and there rose up fire out of the rock, and consumed the flesh and the unleavened cakes. Then the angel of the Lord departed out of his sight.”
Then the angel of the LORD reached out the tip of the staff that was in his hand, and touched the meat and the unleavened cakes; and fire sprang up from the rock and consumed the meat and the unleavened cakes; and the angel of the LORD vanished from his sight. — The miraculous consumption of the offering by fire serves as the 'sign' Gideon requested, confirming the angel's divine origin. The angel's subsequent vanishing emphasizes the supernatural character of the encounter and the confirmation of Gideon's commission.
