Judges 13:18-21

Good News Translation

¹⁸ The angel asked, “Why do you want to know my name? It is a name of wonder.”^[a]

¹⁹ So Manoah took a young goat and some grain, and offered them on the rock altar to the Lord who works wonders.^{[b] 20-21} While the flames were going up from the altar, Manoah and his wife saw the Lord's angel go up toward heaven in the flames. Manoah realized then that the man had been the Lord's angel, and he and his wife threw themselves face downward on the ground. They never saw the angel again.
