Vers. 15. Manoah then said to the Angel of the Lord, I pray thee let us retain thee, until we have made ready a Kid for thee. 16. And the Angel of the Lord said to Manoah, Though thou make me abide, I will not eat of thy bread, and if thou wilt make a burnt offering, offer it unto the Lord: for Manoah knew not that it was an Angel of the Lord. 17. Again Manoah said unto the Angel of the Lord, What is thy name, that when thy saying is come to pass, we may honour thee? 18. And the Angel of the Lord said to him, Why askest thou thus after my name, which is secret? 19. Then Manoah took a Kid with a meat offering, and offered it upon a stone, unto the Lord: and the Angel did wondrously, whiles Manoah and his wife looked on. 20. For when the flame came up toward heaven from the altar, the Angel of the Lord ascended up in the flame of the altar, and Manoah and his wife beheld it, and fell on their faces to the ground. 21. (So the Angel of the Lord did no more appear unto Manaoh and his wife) Then Manoah knew that it was an Angel of the Lord. 22. And Manoah said unto his wife, We shall surely dye, because we have seen God. 23. But his wife said to him, If the Lord would kill us, he would not have received a burnt offering and a meat offering of our hands, neither would he have showed us all these things, nor would have now told us any such. 24. And the wife bare a son and called his name Samson: and the child grew, and the Lord blessed him.

And the Angel of the Lord said to him, Why askest thou thus after my name, which is secret? 19. Then Manoah tooke a Kid with a meate offering, and offered it vpon a stone, vnto the Lord: and the Angell did wonderously, whiles Manoah and his wife looked on. 20.
