19. Then Manoah sacrificed a young goat on a rock. He offered the goat and a grain offering as a gift to the Lord and to the One Who Does Amazing Things.
20. Manoah and his wife were watching what happened. As the flames went up to the sky from the altar, the angel of the Lord went up to heaven in the fire. When Manoah and his wife saw that, they bowed down with their faces to the ground.
21. He finally understood that the man was really the angel of the Lord. The angel of the Lord did not appear to Manoah and his wife again.
22. Manoah said to his wife, “We have seen God. Surely we will die because of this.”
