Judges 13:20-24
Judges 13:20-24 TPT
flames burst from the rock and ascended upward to heaven from the altar. The Angel of YAHWEH, wrapped in the flames of fire, ascended into the sky. Dazed, Manoah and his wife fell facedown to the ground in worship. Only then did Manoah realize that he had met the Angel of YAHWEH! He turned to his wife and said, “We’re as good as dead! God has just visited us!” But his wife said, “If YAHWEH had planned to kill us, he wouldn’t have accepted our burnt offering and our grain offering. He wouldn’t have revealed all these things to us or have spoken to us as he did just now.” And Manoah and his wife never encountered YAHWEH’s Angel again. Manoah’s wife gave birth to a son, and she named him Samson. The boy grew up with YAHWEH’s blessing on his life.
