Ellen White & Bible Cross-Reference
Leviticus 9:22
"And Aaron lifted up his hand toward the people, and blessed them, and came down from offering of the sin offering, and the burnt offering, and peace offerings."
"To Aaron the high priest and his sons the direction was given: MH 285.1"
Both passages involve Aaron blessing the people, although the Numbers passage is the specific instruction to bless.
Leviticus 9:24
"And there came a fire out from before the Lord, and consumed upon the altar the burnt offering and the fat: which when all the people saw, they shouted, and fell on their faces."
"Chapter 31—The Sin of N adab and Abihu This chapter is based on Leviticus 10:1-11 . After the dedication of the tabernacle, the priests were consecrated to their sacred office. These services occupied seven days, each marked by special ceremonies. On the eighth day they entered upon their ministration. Assisted by his sons, Aaron offered the sacrifices that God required, and he lifted up his hands and blessed the people. All had been done as God commanded, and He accepted the sacrifice, and revealed His glory in a remarkable manner; fire came from the Lord and consumed the offering upon the altar. The people looked upon this wonderful manifestation of divine power with awe and intense interest. They saw in it a token of God's glory and favor, and they raised a universal shout of praise and adoration and fell on their faces as if in the immediate presence of Jehovah. PP 359"
The EGW passage directly references and elaborates on the event described in Leviticus 9:24, making it an explicit allusion rather than a mere thematic parallel. The fire from the Lord and the people's reaction are key elements in both texts.
