Contextual Overview

15 Manoah said to the Lord 's messenger, "Please stay here awhile, so we can prepare a young goat for you to eat." 16 The Lord 's messenger said to Manoah, "If I stay, I will not eat your food. But if you want to make a burnt sacrifice to the Lord , you should offer it." (He said this because Manoah did not know that he was the Lord 's messenger.) 17 Manoah said to the Lord 's messenger, "Tell us your name, so we can honor you when your announcement comes true." 18 The Lord 's messenger said to him, "You should not ask me my name, because you cannot comprehend it." 19 Manoah took a young goat and a grain offering and offered them on a rock to the Lord . The Lord 's messenger did an amazing thing as Manoah and his wife watched. 20 As the flame went up from the altar toward the sky, the Lord 's messenger went up in it while Manoah and his wife watched. They fell facedown to the ground. 21 The Lord 's messenger did not appear again to Manoah and his wife. After all this happened Manoah realized that the visitor had been the Lord 's messenger. 22 Manoah said to his wife, "We will certainly die, because we have seen a supernatural being!" 23 But his wife said to him, "If the Lord wanted to kill us, he would not have accepted the burnt offering and the grain offering from us. He would not have shown us all these things, or have spoken to us like this just now."

Gill's Notes on the Bible

But the angel of the Lord did no more appear to Manoah and to his wife,.... As the flame and smoke ascended, he disappeared therewith, and was seen no more:

then Manoah knew that he was an angel of the Lord; by the wondrous things he did, causing fire to come down from heaven, or out of the rock, ascending in the midst of the flame, without being hurt by it, and going up to heaven in it.
