He took descendants of the priests who hid the fire, and he sent them to search for it.

But when it was told to us that they didn't find the fire, rather frozen water beneath it, Nehemiah commanded [them] to draw the water and to bring it.

It was when they were offering the sacrifice of the Lord, he commanded them to throw the water on the wood and on the sacrifice that was on the altar. They did so.

After they finished [pouring the water], the sun came out over the land, and the clouds scattered. Behold a fire of God engulfed the sacrifice! The entire crowd around was awe struck.
