Judges 13:16-22

LEB(i) 16 The angel of Yahweh said to Manoah, "If you keep me, I will not eat your food, but if you prepare a burnt offering for Yahweh, you can offer it (for Manoah did not know that he was an angel of Yahweh)." 17 And Manoah said to the angel of Yahweh, "What is your name so that when your words come true we may honor you?" 18 But the angel of Yahweh said to him, "Why do you ask my name? It is too wonderful." 19 And Manoah took the young goat* and the grain offering, and he offered it to Yahweh on the rock, to the one who performs miracles.* And Manoah and his wife were watching. 20 And when the flame went up toward the heaven from the altar, the angel of Yahweh went up in the flame of the altar to heaven while Manoah and his wife were watching. And they fell on their faces to the ground. 21 The angel of Yahweh did not appear again to Manoah and his wife, and then Manoah knew that he was a messenger* of Yahweh. 22 And Manoah said to his wife, "We will certainly die because we have seen God."
