Judges 13:16-18
Living Bible
16 “I’ll stay,” the Angel replied, “but I’ll not eat anything. However, if you wish to bring something, bring an offering to sacrifice to the Lord.” (Manoah didn’t yet realize that he was the Angel of the Lord.)
17 Then Manoah asked him for his name. “When all this comes true and the baby is born,” he said to the Angel, “we will certainly want to tell everyone that you predicted it!”
18 “Don’t even ask my name,” the Angel replied, “for it is a secret.”

New International Version
16 The angel of the Lord replied, “Even though you detain me, I will not eat any of your food. But if you prepare a burnt offering,(A) offer it to the Lord.” (Manoah did not realize(B) that it was the angel of the Lord.)
17 Then Manoah inquired of the angel of the Lord, “What is your name,(C) so that we may honor you when your word comes true?”
18 He replied, “Why do you ask my name?(D) It is beyond understanding.[a]”
