Judges 13:17 in Context — Judges 13

15 Entonces Manoa dijo al ángel de Jehová: Ruégote permitas que te detengamos, y aderezaremos un cabrito [que poner] delante de ti.

16 Y el ángel de Jehová respondió á Manoa: Aunque me detengas no comeré de tu pan: mas si quisieres hacer holocausto, sacrifícalo á Jehová. Y no sabía Manoa que aquél fuese ángel de Jehová.

17 Entonces dijo Manoa al ángel de Jehová: ¿Cómo es tu nombre, para que cuando se cumpliere tu palabra te honremos?

18 Y el ángel de Jehová respondió: ¿Por qué preguntas por mi nombre, que es oculto?

19 Y Manoa tomó un cabrito de las cabras y un presente, y sacrificólo sobre una peña á Jehová: y [el ángel] hizo milagro á vista de Manoa y de su mujer.
