"And Manoah said unto the angel of Jehovah, What is thy name, that, when thy words come to pass, we may do thee honor?" — Judges 13:17 (ASV)
What is thy name? —Compare Genesis 32:29; Exodus 3:13; Proverbs 30:4.
We may do thee honour. —Especially by a gift, which is the commonest Eastern notion of the word (Numbers 22:17; Josephus, Antiquities 5.8.3).
