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.
21. The angel of Yahweh did not appear again to Manoah and his wife, and then Manoah knew that he was a messenger of Yahweh.
22. And Manoah said to his wife, “We will certainly die because we have seen God.”
23. But his wife said to him, “If Yahweh wanted to kill us he would not have taken from our hand the burnt offering and the grain offering, or shown us all these things, or now announced to us things such as these.”
24. The woman bore a son, and she called him Samson; the boy grew big, and Yahweh blessed him.
25. And the Spirit of Yahweh began to stir him in the camp of Dan, between Zorah and Eshtaol.
