Judges 13:16-18

Contemporary English Version

¹⁶ Manoah didn't realize that he was really talking to one of the Lord's angels.

The angel answered, “I can stay for a little while, although I won't eat any of your food. But if you would like to offer the goat as a sacrifice to the Lord, that would be fine.”

¹⁷ Manoah said, “Tell us your name, so we can honor you after our son is born.”

¹⁸ “No,” the angel replied. “You don't need to know my name. And if you did, you couldn't understand it.”
