  1. 15Manoah said to Yahweh’s angel, “Please stay with us, that we may make a young goat ready for you.”
  2. 16Yahweh’s angel said to Manoah, “Though you detain me, I won’t eat your bread. If you will prepare a burnt offering, you must offer it to Yahweh.” For Manoah didn’t know that he was Yahweh’s angel.
  3. 17Manoah said to Yahweh’s angel, “What is your name, that when your words happen, we may honor you?”
