'Detain' in the Bible

Manoah responded to the angel of the LORD, "Please, let us detain you while we prepare a young goat for you."

The angel of the LORD answered Manoah, "If you detain me, I won't be eating your food, but if you prepare a burnt offering, you'll be making a sacrifice to the LORD." The angel of the LORD said this because Manoah didn't know that he was the angel of the LORD.

But so as not to detain you any further, I beg you to hear us briefly with your customary graciousness.
