Manoah said to the angel of God, “Please, stay with us a little longer; we’ll prepare a meal for you—a young goat.” GOD’s angel said to Manoah, “Even if I stay, I won’t eat your food. But if you want to prepare a Whole-Burnt-Offering for GOD, go ahead—offer it!” Manoah had no idea that he was talking to the angel of God. Then Manoah asked the angel of God, “What’s your name? When your words come true, we’d like to honor you.” The angel of GOD said, “What’s this? You ask for my name? You wouldn’t understand—it’s sheer wonder.” So Manoah took the kid and the Grain-Offering and sacrificed them on a rock altar to GOD who works wonders. As the flames leapt up from the altar to heaven, GOD’s angel also ascended in the altar flames. When Manoah and his wife saw this, they fell facedown to the ground. Manoah and his wife never saw the angel of GOD again.
