Manoah said to the angel of Yahweh, I pray you, let us detain you, that we may make ready a kid for you.
"Manoah was the first to speak but the last to recover his composure, reflecting the widely-held belief that if a man saw God he would die (Exodus 33:20; Judges 6:22-23)." [Note: Cundall and Morris, p. 160.]
