11
Manoach arose, and went after his wife, and came to the man, and said to him, Are you the man who spoke to the woman? He said, I am.
12
Manoach said, Now let your words happen: what shall be the ordering of the child, and [how] shall we do to him?
13
The angel of the LORD said to Manoach, Of all that I said to the woman let her beware.
14
She may not eat of anything that comes 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
Manoach said to the angel of the LORD, I pray you, let us detain you, that we may make ready a kid for you.
16
The angel of the LORD said to Manoach, Though you detain me, I won't eat of your bread; and if you will make ready a burnt offering, you must offer it to the LORD. For Manoach didn't know that he was the angel of the LORD.
17
Manoach said to the angel of the LORD, What is your name, that when your words happen, we may honor you?
18
The angel of the LORD said to him, Why do you ask after my name, seeing it is wonderful?
19
So Manoach took the kid with the meal-offering, and offered it on the rock to the LORD: and [the angel] did wondrously, and Manoach and his wife looked on.
20
For it happened, when the flame went up toward the sky from off the altar, that the angel of the LORD ascended in the flame of the altar: and Manoach and his wife looked on; and they fell on their faces to the ground.
21
But the angel of the LORD did no more appear to Manoach or to his wife. Then Manoach knew that he was the angel of the LORD.
