Judges

¹⁶And the angel of the Lord said unto Manoah, Though thou detain me, I will not eat of thy bread: and if thou wilt make ready a burnt offering, thou must offer it onto the Lord. For Manoah knew not that he was the angel of the Lord. ¹⁷And Manoah said unto the angel of the Lord, What is thy name, that when thy words come to pass we may do thee honour? ¹⁸And the angel of the Lord said unto him, Wherefore askest thou after my name, seeing it is wonderful? ¹⁹So Manoah took the kid with the meal offering, and offered it upon the rock unto the Lord: and the angel did wondrously, and Manoah and his wife looked on. ²⁰For it came to pass, when the flame went up toward heaven from off the altar, that the angel of the Lord ascended in the flame of the altar: and Manoah and his wife looked on; and they fell on their faces to the ground. ²¹But the angel of the Lord did no more appear to Manoah or to his wife. Then Manoah knew that he was the angel of the Lord. ²²And Manoah said unto his wife, We shall surely die, because we have seen God.
