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?'
18 And he answered him, 'Why do you ask my name, which is a wonder?'
19 And so, Manoah took a kid from the goats, and libations, and he placed them upon a rock, as an offering to the Lord, who accomplishes wonders. Then he and his wife watched.
20 And when the flame of the altar ascended to heaven, the Angel of the Lord ascended in the flame. And when Manoah and his wife had seen this, they fell prone on the ground.
