    15 And Manoah said to the angel of the Lord, Now let us keep you while we make ready a young goat for you.

    16 And the angel of the Lord said to Manoah, Though you keep me I will not take of your food; but if you will make a burned offering, let it be offered to the Lord. For it had not come into Manoah's mind that he was the angel of the Lord.

    17 Then Manoah said to the angel of the Lord, What is your name, so that when your words come true we may give you honour?

    18 But the angel of the Lord said to him, Why are you questioning me about my name, seeing that it is a wonder?
