Seeing It Is Wonderful — Judges 13:12–18

  
    And Manoah said,
Now let thy words come to pass: what shall be the ordering of the child, and how shall we do unto him?
And the angel of Jehovah said unto Manoah,
Of all that I said unto the woman let her beware.
She may not eat of anything that cometh of the vine, neither let her drink wine or strong drink, nor eat any unclean thing; all that I commanded her let her observe.
JDG 13:12–14

    And Manoah said unto the angel of Jehovah,
I pray thee, let us detain thee, that we may make ready a kid for thee.
And the angel of Jehovah said unto Manoah,
Though thou detain me, I will not eat of thy bread; and if thou wilt make ready a burnt-offering, thou must offer it unto Jehovah.
For Manoah knew not that he was the angel of Jehovah.
JDG 13:15–16

    And Manoah said unto the angel of Jehovah,
What is thy name, that, when thy words come to pass, we may do thee honor?
And the angel of Jehovah said unto him,
Wherefore askest thou after my name, seeing it is wonderful?
