Judges 13:13-21

[13] And the angel  said  unto Manoah,  Of all that I said  unto the woman  let her beware.  [14] She may not eat  of any thing that cometh  of the vine,  neither let her drink  wine  or strong drink,  nor eat  any unclean  thing: all that I commanded  her let her observe.  [15] And Manoah  said  unto the angel  of the LORD,  I pray thee, let us detain  thee, until we shall have made ready  a kid  for  [16] And the angel  of the LORD  said  unto Manoah,  Though thou detain  me, I will not eat  of thy bread:  and if  thou wilt offer  a burnt offering,  thou must offer  it unto the LORD.  For Manoah  knew  not that he was an angel  of the LORD.  [17] And Manoah  said  unto the angel  of the LORD,  What is thy name,  that when thy sayings  come to pass  we may do thee honour?  [18] And the angel  of the LORD  said  unto him, Why askest  thou thus after my name,  seeing it is secret?  [19] So Manoah  took  a kid  with a meat offering,  and offered  it upon a rock  unto the LORD:  and the angel did  wondrously;  and Manoah  and his wife  looked on.  [20] For 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  it, and fell on  their faces  to the ground.  [21] But the angel  of the LORD  did no more  appear  to Manoah  and to his wife.  Then Manoah  knew  that he was an angel  of the LORD.
