Judges 13:16-23

Judges 13:16-23

[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.  [22] And Manoah  said  unto his wife,  We shall surely  because we have seen  God.  [23] But his wife  said  unto him, If  the LORD  were pleased  to kill  us, he would not have received  a burnt offering  and a meat offering  at our hands,  neither would he have shewed  us all these things, nor would as at this time  have told  us such things as these.
