13 And the Angel of the Lord said to Manoah: 'Concerning all the things about which I have spoken to your wife, she herself should abstain.
14 And let her eat nothing from the vine. She may not drink wine or strong drink. She may consume nothing unclean. And let her observe and keep what I have instructed to her.'
15 And Manoah said to the Angel of the Lord, 'I beg you to agree to my petition, and to let us prepare a kid from the goats.'
16 And the Angel answered him: 'Even if you compel me, I will not eat from your bread. But if you are willing to offer a holocaust, offer it to the Lord.' And Manoah did not know that he was an Angel of the Lord.
17 And he said to him, 'What is your name, so that, if your word is fulfilled, we may honor you?'
