Judges 13:11-21
11Then ManoahH4495 aroseH6965 and followedH1980H310 his wifeH802, and when he cameH935 to the manH376 he saidH559 to him, “Are you 1the manH376 whoH834 spokeH1696 to the womanH802?” And he saidH559, “I am.” 12ManoahH4495 saidH559, “NowH6258 when your wordsH1697 comeH935 to pass, whatH4100 shall be the boy’sH5288 modeH4941 of lifeH4941 and his vocationH4639?” 13So 2the angelH4397 of the LordH3068 saidH559 to ManoahH4495, “3Let the womanH802 payH8104 attentionH8104 4to allH3605 that I saidH559. 14She should not eatH398 anythingH3605 that comesH3318 from the 5vineH1612 norH408 drinkH8354 wineH3196 or strongH7941 drinkH7941, norH408 eatH398 anyH3605 uncleanH2932 thingH2932; let her observeH8104 allH3605 that I commandedH6680.”
15Then ManoahH4495 saidH559 to 6the angelH4397 of the LordH3068, “PleaseH4994 let us detainH6113 you so that we may prepareH6213 a youngH1423H5795 goatH1423H5795 for you.” 16The angelH4397 of the LordH3068 saidH559 to ManoahH4495, “ThoughH518 you detainH6113 me, 7I will not eatH398 your 8foodH3899, but ifH518 you prepareH6213 a burntH5930 offeringH5930, then offerH5927 it to the LordH3068.” For ManoahH4495 did not knowH3045 that he was the angelH4397 of the LordH3068. 17ManoahH4495 saidH559 to the angelH4397 of the LordH3068, “9WhatH4310 is your nameH8034, so that when your wordsH1697 comeH935 to pass, we may honorH3513 you?” 18But the angelH4397 of the LordH3068 saidH559 to him, “WhyH4100 do you askH7592 my nameH8034, seeing it is 1011wonderfulH6383?” 19So 12ManoahH4495 tookH3947 the youngH1423H5795 goatH1423H5795 with the grain offeringH4503 and offeredH5927 it on the rockH6697 to the LordH3068, and He performedH6213 wondersH6381 while ManoahH4495 and his wifeH802 lookedH7200 on. 20For it cameH1961 about when the flameH3851 wentH5927 up from the altarH4196 toward heavenH8064, that the angelH4397 of the LordH3068 ascendedH5927 in the flameH3851 of the altarH4196. When ManoahH4495 and his wifeH802 sawH7200 this, they 13fellH5307 on their facesH6440 to the groundH776.
21Now the angelH4397 of the LordH3068 did not appearH7200 to ManoahH4495 or his wifeH802 againH3254H5750. 14ThenH227 ManoahH4495 knewH3045 that he was the angelH4397 of the LordH3068.
