Judges 13:16-18

New International Reader's Version

¹⁶ The angel of the Lord replied, “Even if I stay, I will not eat any of your food. But if you still want to prepare a burnt offering, you must offer it to the Lord.” Manoah didn’t realize it was the angel of the Lord.

¹⁷ Then Manoah asked the angel of the Lord a question. “What is your name?” he said. “We want to honor you when your word comes true.”

¹⁸ The angel replied, “Why are you asking me what my name is? You would not be able to understand it.”
