Verse 18 is found in chapter 13 of Judges. Manoah offers a young goat, and the angel of the Lord ascends in the flame of the altar. Manoah fears that he and his wife will die because they have seen God, but his wife interprets the circumstances from the evidence that God accepted the offering and announced the birth. The episode ends with reverent fear and expectation. The appearance confirms that Samson’s birth belongs to an extraordinary divine purpose.
