fire consuming

Here Moses is speaking of Yahweh’s response, when he is jealous, as if it were a devouring fire. Yahweh will destroy anyone who disobeys him. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “is a destroyer of people who disobey him just as a fire burns its fuel to ashes”
