19. Manoah took the young goat with the meal offering and offered them on the rock to Adonai, and He did something wonderful as Manoah and his wife were watching.
20. For it came about when the flame went up from off the altar toward heaven that the angel of Adonai ascended in the flame of the altar. Manoah and his wife were looking on, then they fell on their faces to the ground.
21. But the angel of Adonai appeared no more to Manoah or to his wife. Then Manoah realized that he was the angel of Adonai.
22. Manoah said to his wife, “We will surely die, because we have seen God.”
23. But his wife said to him, “If Adonai had desired to kill us, He would not have accepted a burnt offering and a meal offering from our hand, nor would He have shown us all these things or let us hear such things as these at this time.”
24. Then the woman bore a son, and called his name Samson. So the boy grew up and Adonai blessed him.
25. The Ruach Adonai began to stir him in Mahaneh-dan, between Zorah and Eshtaol.
