Why did the Lord want Lehi’s family not to make much fire?

Thomas R. Valletta

Others who traveled in the same Arab land said “they never dared build a fire on the open plain where it ‘would attract the attention of a prowling raiding party over long distances and invite a night attack.’ … That is, fires are not absolutely out of the question, but rare and risky—not much fire, was Lehi’s rule” (Nibley, Lehi in the Desert, 72–73).
