    16The LORD’s angel said to Manoah,“If I stay, I will not eat your food. But if you want to make a burnt sacrifice to the LORD, you should offer it.”(He said this because Manoah did not know that he was the LORD’s angel.)

    17Manoah said to the LORD’s angel,“Tell us your name, so we can honor you when your announcement comes true.”

    18The LORD’s angel said to him,“You should not ask me my name, because you cannot comprehend it.”

    19Manoah took a young goat and a grain offering and offered them on a rock to the LORD. The LORD’s messenger did an amazing thing as Manoah and his wife watched.

    20As the flame went up from the altar toward the sky, the LORD’s angel went up in it while Manoah and his wife watched. They fell facedown to the ground.

    21The LORD’s angel did not appear again to Manoah and his wife. After all this happened Manoah realized that the visitor had been the LORD’s angel.

    22Manoah said to his wife,“We will certainly die, because we have seen a supernatural being!”

    23But his wife said to him,“If the LORD wanted to kill us, he would not have accepted the burnt offering and the grain offering from us. He would not have shown us all these things, or have spoken to us like this just now.”

    6The woman went and said to her husband,“A man sent from God came to me! He looked like God’s angel– he was very awesome. I did not ask him where he came from, and he did not tell me his name.

    7He said to me,‘Look, you will conceive and have a son. So now, do not drink wine or beer and do not eat any food that will make you ritually unclean. For the child will be dedicated to God from birth till the day he dies.’”

    8Manoah prayed to the LORD,“Please, Lord, allow the man sent from God to visit us again, so he can teach us how we should raise the child who will be born.”

    9God answered Manoah’s prayer. God’s angel visited the woman again while she was sitting in the field. But her husband Manoah was not with her.

    10The woman ran at once and told her husband,“Come quickly, the man who visited me the other day has appeared to me!”

    11So Manoah got up and followed his wife. When he met the man, he said to him,“Are you the man who spoke to my wife?” He said,“Yes.”

    12Manoah said,“Now, when your announcement comes true, how should the child be raised and what should he do?”

    13The LORD’s angel told Manoah,“Your wife should pay attention to everything I told her.

    14She should not drink anything that the grapevine produces. She must not drink wine or beer, and she must not eat any food that will make her ritually unclean. She should obey everything I commanded her to do.”
