Manoah said, Now let your words happen: what shall be the ordering of the child, and [how] shall we do to him?
"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.]
