22 And Manoah said unto his wife: We shall surely dye, because we have seen God. 23 But his wife said unto him: If the Lord would kill us, he would not have received a burnt offering and an oblation of our hands, neither would he have showed us all these things, nor at this time told us such things. 24 And the wife bare a son, and called his name Samson. And the child grew, and the Lord blessed him. 25 And the spirit of the Lord began to strengthen him, in the host of Dan, between Zora and Esthaol.

But he was called angel because Manoah and his wife thought him to be so. For after the same manner Ezras, although he was a man, yet was he called an angel. And Christ which is very man, is called the angel of the Testament. But how he being a man vanished away in the flame, Levi ben Gerson declareth not. But I more simply do judge him to have ben an angel in deed. For Pinhas had not a secret name, but a name well known in his time, and the words of the text do tend to this,
