Judges 13:17-23

Judges 13:17-23 AMP

Manoah said to the Angel of the LORD, “What is your name, so that when your words come true, we may honor you?” But the Angel of the LORD said to him, “Why do you ask my name, seeing it is wonderful (miraculous)?” [Is 9:6] So Manoah took the young goat with the grain offering and offered it on the rock to the LORD, and He performed miracles while Manoah and his wife looked on. For when the flame went up toward heaven from the altar, the Angel of the LORD ascended in the altar flame. When Manoah and his wife saw this they fell on their faces to the ground. The Angel of the LORD did not appear again to Manoah or his wife. Then Manoah knew that he was the Angel of the LORD. So Manoah said to his wife, “We will certainly die, because we have seen God.” But his [sensible] wife said to him, “If the LORD had desired to kill us, He would not have received a burnt offering and a grain offering from our hands, nor would He have shown us all these things, nor would He have announced such things as these at this time.”
