For Manoah did not know that he was the agent of LORD. And Manoah said to the agent of LORD, What is thy name, that, when thy words come to pass, we may do thee honor? And the agent of LORD said to him, Why do thou ask after my name, seeing it is wonderful? So Manoah took the kid with the meal-offering, and offered it upon the rock to LORD. And [the heavenly agent] did wondrously, and Manoah and his wife looked on, for it came to pass, when the flame went up toward heaven from off the altar, that the agent of LORD ascended in the flame of the altar. And Manoah and his wife looked on, and they fell on their faces to the ground. But the agent of LORD appeared no more to Manoah or to his wife. Then Manoah knew that he was the agent of LORD.

And the child grew, and LORD blessed him.
