15. Manoah said to the Lord’s messenger, “Please stay here awhile, so we can prepare a young goat for you to eat.”
16. The Lord’s messenger said to Manoah, “If I stay, I will not eat your food. But if you want to make a burnt sacrifice to the Lord, you should offer it.” (He said this because Manoah did not know that he was the Lord’s messenger.)
17. Manoah said to the Lord’s messenger, “Tell us your name, so we can honor you when your announcement comes true.”
