Judges 13:10-20 World English Bible (WEB)

10. The woman hurried and ran, and told her husband, and said to him, “Behold, the man who came to me that day has appeared to me,”

11. Manoah arose, and followed his wife, and came to the man, and said to him, “Are you the man who spoke to my wife?” He said, “I am.”

12. Manoah said, “Now let your words happen. What shall the child’s way of life and mission be?”

13. Yahweh’s angel said to Manoah, “Of all that I said to the woman let her beware.

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

15. Manoah said to Yahweh’s angel, “Please stay with us, that we may make a young goat ready for you.”

16. Yahweh’s angel said to Manoah, “Though you detain me, I won’t eat your bread. If you will prepare a burnt offering, you must offer it to Yahweh.” For Manoah didn’t know that he was Yahweh’s angel.

17. Manoah said to Yahweh’s angel, “What is your name, that when your words happen, we may honor you?”

18. Yahweh’s angel said to him, “Why do you ask about my name, since it is incomprehensible?”

19. So Manoah took the young goat with the meal offering, and offered it on the rock to Yahweh. Then the angel did an amazing thing as Manoah and his wife watched.

20. For when the flame went up toward the sky from off the altar, Yahweh’s angel ascended in the flame of the altar. Manoah and his wife watched; and they fell on their faces to the ground.
