Manoah said to the angel of Yahweh, I pray you, let us detain you, that we may make ready a kid for you.
"I will not eat of thy bread"  (Judges 13:16).  "The angel perhaps perceived that Manoah was in doubt as to his identity,"[14] and at once moved to prevent Manoah's obvious intention of worshipping him `as an angel.'  However, not even an angel may be rightfully worshipped, an honor that belongs only to God, as the apostle John learned in  Revelation 22:9.  As Hervey said, "The message is clear enough, `Offer sacrifices to no one except God.'"[15]
