Exegesis
The construct chain mizbach haʿolah {מִזְבַּח הָעֹלָה | miẓbāḥ hā-ʿōlāh} ‘altar of burnt offering’ underscores the altar’s cultic purpose, while the phrase baʾēš min-ha-šāmayim {בָאֵשׁ מִן־הַשָּׁמַיִם | bāʾēš min-ha-šāmayim} ‘with fire from the heavens’ signals divine acceptance.
In context — 1 Chronicles 21:26
And there David built an altar to the LORD and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings. He called to the LORD, and He answered him with fire from the heavens upon the altar of burnt offering .
