וְיָדַעְתָּ֣ הַיּ֗וֹם כִּי֩ יְהוָ֨ה אֱלֹהֶ֜יךָ הֽוּא־הָעֹבֵ֤ר לְפָנֶ֙יךָ֙ אֵ֣שׁ אֹֽכְלָ֔ה ה֧וּא יַשְׁמִידֵ֛ם וְה֥וּא יַכְנִיעֵ֖ם לְפָנֶ֑יךָ וְהֽוֹרַשְׁתָּ֤ם וְהַֽאַבַדְתָּם֙ מַהֵ֔ר כַּאֲשֶׁ֛ר דִּבֶּ֥ר יְהוָ֖ה לָֽךְ׃
E você saberá hoje que é Yehovah seu Elohim quem vai à sua frente como um fogo consumidor, Ele os destruirá e os submeterá diante de você; e você os expulsará e os exterminará rapidamente, conforme Yehovah lhe falou.
Sha'arei Orah
Know that because it consumes every other kind of fire in the world, it is called the Consuming Fire-Aish Ochlah-אש אוכלה. Because of this quality HaShem-יהו״ה, blessed is He, is called a Consuming Fire-Aish Ochlah-אש אוכלה, as stated,157Deuteronomy 4:24; 9:3 “For HaShem-יהו״ה your God is a consuming fire-Aish Ochlah-אש אוכלה; He will destroy them and He will subjugate them.” Because HaShem-יהו״ה, blessed is He, is a consuming fire-Aish Ochlah-אש אוכלה, He therefore can subjugate, humble, and destroy, since with this quality HaShem-יהו״ה, blessed is He, wages war, and it therefore is called terror-Pachad-פחד.
