Judges 13:14-20 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

14. She should not eat of anything that comes from the vine, or drink wine or strong drink, or eat anything unclean; she should keep all that I commanded.”

15. And Manoah said to the angel of Yahweh, “Please stay, and let us prepare a young goat for you.”

16. The angel of Yahweh said to Manoah, “If you keep me, I will not eat your food, but if you prepare a burnt offering for Yahweh, you can offer it (for Manoah did not know that he was an angel of Yahweh).”

17. And Manoah said to the angel of Yahweh, “What is your name so that when your words come true we may honor you?”

18. But the angel of Yahweh said to him, “Why do you ask my name? It is too wonderful.”

19. And Manoah took the young goat and the grain offering, and he offered it to Yahweh on the rock, to the one who performs miracles. And Manoah and his wife were watching.

20. And when the flame went up toward the heaven from the altar, the angel of Yahweh went up in the flame of the altar to heaven while Manoah and his wife were watching. And they fell on their faces to the ground.
