Judges

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. ²³But his wife said unto him, If the Lord were pleased to kill us, he would not have received a burnt offering and a meal offering at our hand, neither would he have shewed us all these things, nor would at this time have told us such things as these. ²⁴And the woman bare a son, and called his name Samson: and the child grew, and the Lord blessed him.
