13. the Lord’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 the Lord’s angel, “Please stay with us, that we may make a young goat ready for you.”
16. the Lord’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 the Lord.” For Manoah didn’t know that he was the Lord’s angel.
17. Manoah said to the Lord’s angel, “What is your name, that when your words happen, we may honour you?”
18. the Lord’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 the Lord. Then the angel did an amazing thing as Manoah and his wife watched.
20. For when the flame went up towards the sky from off the altar, the Lord’s angel ascended in the flame of the altar. Manoah and his wife watched; and they fell on their faces to the ground.
