Judges 13:13-19 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

13. And the angel of the Lord said to Manue: From all the things I have spoken of to thy wife, let her refrain herself:

14. And let her eat nothing that cometh of the vine, neither let her drink wine or strong drink, nor eat any unclean thing: and whatsoever I have commanded her, let her fulfil and observe.

15. And Manue said to the angel of the Lord: I beseech thee to consent to my request, and let us dress a kid for thee.

16. And the angel answered him: If thou press me, I will not eat of thy bread: but if thou wilt offer a holocaust, offer it to the Lord. And Manue knew not it was the angel of the Lord.

17. And he said to him: What is thy name, that, if thy word shall come to pass, we may honour thee?

18. And he answered him: Why askest thou my name, which is wonderful?

19. Then Manue took a kid of the flocks, and the libations, and put them upon a rock, offering to the Lord, who doth wonderful things: and he and his wife looked on.
