“And the people cried unto Moses; and when Moses prayed unto the Lord, the fire was quenched.”
Then the people cried out to Moses; and Moses prayed to the LORD, and the fire abated — the people's crisis-prayer to Moses triggers Moses' intercession with God. The fire ceases in response to prayer, establishing the intercessory pattern: Moses mediates God's mercy. The rapid cycle (complaint, fire, prayer, cessation) suggests that God's judgments are not final but responsive to repentance.
