Judges 13:18 in Context — Judges 13

16 E o anjo do SENHOR respondeu a Manoá: Ainda que me detenhas não comerei de teu pão: mas se quiseres fazer holocausto, sacrifica-o ao SENHOR. E não sabia Manoá que aquele fosse anjo do SENHOR.

17 Então disse Manoá ao anjo do SENHOR: Como é teu nome, para que quando se cumprir tua palavra te honremos?

18 E o anjo do SENHOR respondeu: Por que perguntas por meu nome, que é oculto?

19 E Manoá tomou um cabrito das cabras e uma oferta de alimentos, e o sacrificou sobre uma rocha ao SENHOR; e o anjo fez algo sobrenatural à vista de Manoá e de sua mulher.

20 Porque aconteceu que, quando a chama subia do altar até o céu, o anjo do SENHOR subiu na chama do altar à vista de Manoá e de sua mulher, os quais se prostraram em terra sobre seus rostos.
