20. For it came to pass, when the flame went up toward heaven from off the altar, that the angel of the Lord ascended in the flame of the altar as Manoah and his wife looked on, and they prostrated themselves on the ground on their faces.
21. But the angel of the Lord did not appear any more to Manoah and to his wife. Then Manoah knew that he was the angel of the Lord.
22. And Manoah said unto his wife, We shall surely die because we have seen God.
23. But his wife said unto him, If the Lord had desired to kill us, he would not have received a burnt offering and the present from our hands, neither would he have showed us all these things, nor would he have announced this according to the time.
24. And the woman bore a son and called his name Samson. And the child grew, and the Lord blessed him.
25. And the Spirit of the Lord began to manifest himself at times in him in the camps of Dan between Zorah and Eshtaol.
