Judges 13:9-22 King James 2000 (KJ2000)

9. And God hearkened to the voice of Manoah; and the angel of God came again unto the woman as she sat in the field: but Manoah her husband was not with her.

10. And the woman made haste, and ran, and showed her husband, and said unto him, Behold, the man has appeared unto me, that came unto me the other day.

11. And Manoah arose, and went after his wife, and came to the man, and said unto him, are you the man that spoke unto the woman? And he said, I am.

12. And Manoah said, Now let your words come to pass. How shall we order the child, and how shall we do unto him?

13. And the angel of the LORD said unto Manoah, Of all that I said unto the woman let her beware.

14. She may not eat of any thing that comes of the vine, neither let her drink wine or strong drink, nor eat any unclean thing: all that I commanded her let her observe.

15. And Manoah said unto the angel of the LORD, I pray you, let us detain you, until we shall have made ready a kid for you.

16. And the angel of the LORD said unto Manoah, Though you detain me, I will not eat of your food: and if you will offer a burnt offering, you must offer it unto the LORD. For Manoah knew not that he was an angel of the LORD.

17. And Manoah said unto the angel of the LORD, What is your name, that when your sayings come to pass we may do you honor?

18. And the angel of the LORD said unto him, Why ask you thus after my name, seeing it is wonderful?

19. So Manoah took a kid with a grain offering, and offered it upon a rock unto the LORD: and the angel did a wondrous thing; and Manoah and his wife looked on.

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. And Manoah and his wife looked on it, and fell on their faces to the ground.

21. But the angel of the LORD did no more appear to Manoah and to his wife. Then Manoah knew that he was an angel of the LORD.

22. And Manoah said unto his wife, We shall surely die, because we have seen God.
