Judges 13:13-21
Read Judges 13 in full →13So athe angel of Yahweh said to Manoah, “bLet the woman be careful in all that I said. 14“She should not eat anything that comes from the avine, nor drink wine or strong drink, nor eat any unclean thing; let her keep all that I commanded.”
15Then Manoah said to athe angel of Yahweh, “Please let us delay you so that we may prepare a young goat for you.” 16And the angel of Yahweh said to Manoah, “Though you delay me, aI will not eat your 1food, but if you prepare a burnt offering, then offer it to Yahweh.” For Manoah did not know that he was the angel of Yahweh. 17Then Manoah said to the angel of Yahweh, “aWhat is your name, so that when your words come to pass, we may honor you?” 18But the angel of Yahweh said to him, “Why do you ask my name, seeing it is 1,awonderful?” 19So aManoah took the young goat with the grain offering and offered it on the rock to Yahweh, and He did a wondrous thing while Manoah and his wife looked on. 20Indeed, it happened when the flame went up from the altar toward heaven, that the angel of Yahweh went up in the flame of the altar. And Manoah and his wife saw this, so they afell on their faces to the ground.
21Now the angel of Yahweh did not appear to Manoah or his wife again. aThen Manoah knew that he was the angel of Yahweh.
