    15Manoah said to the LORD’s angel,“Please stay here awhile, so we can prepare a young goat for you to eat.”

    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.)
