19. So Manoah took a young goat over to a large rock he had chosen for an altar, and he built a fire on the rock. Then he killed the goat, and offered it with some grain as a sacrifice to the Lord. But then an amazing thing happened.
20. The fire blazed up towards the sky, and the Lord's angel went up towards heaven in the fire. Manoah and his wife bowed down low when they saw what happened.
21. The angel was gone, but Manoah and his wife realized that he was one of the Lord's angels.
