But the Angel of the Lord said to him, “Why do you ask my name, seeing it is wonderful (miraculous)?”
And the angel of the Lord said unto him, Why askest thou thus after my name, seeing it is secret?
The angel of God said, “What’s this? You ask for my name? You wouldn’t understand—it’s sheer wonder.” 19-21 So Manoah took the kid and the Grain-Offering and sacrificed them on a rock altar to God who works wonders. As the flames leapt up from the altar to heaven, God’s angel also ascended in the altar flames. When Manoah and his wife saw this, they fell facedown to the ground. Manoah and his wife never saw the angel of God again. 21-22 Only then did Manoah realize that this was God’s angel. He said to his wife, “We’re as good as dead! We’ve looked on God!”
But the angel of the Lord said to him, “Why do you ask my name, seeing it is [e]wonderful?”
The angel replied, “Why are you asking me what my name is? You would not be able to understand it.”
He replied, “Why do you ask my name? It is beyond understanding.[a]”
He replied, ‘Why do you ask my name? It is beyond understanding.[a]’
“Why do you ask my name?” the angel of the Lord replied. “It is too wonderful for you to understand.”
