Manoah

Manoah said to his wife, “We shall surely die, because we have seen God.”

There was a certain man of Zorah, of the family of the Danites, whose name was Manoah; and his wife was barren, and didn’t bear.

For when the flame went up toward the sky from off the altar, Yahweh’s angel ascended in the flame of the altar: and Manoah and his wife looked on; and they fell on their faces to the ground.

Then his brothers and all the house of his father came down, and took him, and brought him up, and buried him between Zorah and Eshtaol in the burial site of Manoah his father. He judged Israel twenty years.

Then Manoah entreated Yahweh, and said, “Oh, Lord, please let the man of God whom you did send come again to us, and teach us what we shall do to the child who shall be born.”

Manoah said to Yahweh’s angel, “Please, let us detain you, that we may make a young goat ready for you.”
