2 Maccabees 1:31 In-Context

29 Plant your people in your holy place, just as Moses said.

30 The priests sang the hymns.

31 When the elements of the sacrifice were consumed, Nehemiah commanded them to pour the remaining liquid on larger stones.

32 When this happened, a flame flared up on these stones. But it went out in the presence of the light shining from the altar.

33 When this situation became known, it was reported to the king of the Persians that in the place where the exiled priests hid the fire, a liquid appeared from which Nehemiah's followers purified the elements of the sacrifice.
