Remember that where the english translation of the old testament says "the LORD" that is really the personal name of God in the Hebrew.
Genesis 22:
But
the angel of the LORD called to him from heaven and said, "Abraham, Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
Genesis 22:
Then
the angel of the LORD called to Abraham a second time from heaven,
Exodus 3:2-4 NASB95
The angel of the LORD appeared to him in a blazing fire from the midst of a bush; and he looked, and behold, the bush was burning with fire, yet the bush was not consumed. So Moses said, "I must turn aside now and see this marvelous sight, why the bush is not burned up." When
the LORD saw that he turned aside to look,
God called to him from the midst of the bush and said, "Moses, Moses!" And he said, "Here I am."
Numbers 22:
The angel of the LORD said to him, "Why have you struck your donkey these three times? Behold, I have come out as an adversary, because your way was
contrary to
me.
Judges 2:1 NASB95
Now the
angel of the LORD came up from Gilgal to Bochim. And he said, "I brought you up out of Egypt and led you into the land which I have sworn to your fathers; and I said, 'I will never break My covenant with you,
Judges 6:11-24 NASB95
Then the
angel of the LORD came and sat under the oak that was in Ophrah, which belonged to Joash the Abiezrite as his son Gideon was beating out wheat in the wine press in order to save [it] from the Midianites. The
angel of the LORD appeared to him and said to him, "The LORD is with you, O valiant warrior." Then Gideon said to him, "O my lord, if the LORD is with us, why then has all this happened to us? And where are all His miracles which our fathers told us about, saying, 'Did not the LORD bring us up from Egypt?' But now the LORD has abandoned us and given us into the hand of Midian."
The LORD looked at him and said, "Go in this your strength and deliver Israel from the hand of Midian. Have I not sent you?" He said to Him, "O Lord, how shall I deliver Israel? Behold, my family is the least in Manasseh, and I am the youngest in my father's house." But
the LORD said to him, "Surely I will be with you, and you shall defeat Midian as one man." So Gideon said to Him, "If now I have found favor in Your sight, then show me a sign that it is You who speak with me. "Please do not depart from here, until I come [back] to You, and bring out my offering and lay it before You." And He said, "I will remain until you return." Then Gideon went in and prepared a young goat and unleavened bread from an ephah of flour; he put the meat in a basket and the broth in a pot, and brought [them] out to him under the oak and presented [them.] The angel of God said to him, "Take the meat and the unleavened bread and lay them on this rock, and pour out the broth." And he did so. Then the
angel of the LORD put out the end of the staff that was in his hand and touched the meat and the unleavened bread; and fire sprang up from the rock and consumed the meat and the unleavened bread. Then the
angel of the LORD vanished from his sight. When Gideon saw that he was the
angel of the LORD, he said, "Alas, O Lord GOD! For now I have seen the
angel of the LORD face to face."
The LORD said to him, "Peace to you, do not fear; you shall not die." Then Gideon built an altar there to the LORD and named it The LORD is Peace. To this day it is still in Ophrah of the Abiezrites.
Judges 13:
Then
the angel of the LORD appeared to the woman and said to her, "Behold now, you are barren and have borne no children, but you shall conceive and give birth to a son.
Judges 13:
God listened to the voice of Manoah; and
the angel of God came again to the woman as she was sitting in the field, but Manoah her husband was not with her.
Judges 13:
Then Manoah said to
the angel of the LORD , "Please let us detain you so that we may prepare a young goat for you."
The angel of the LORD said to Manoah, "Though you detain me, I will not eat your food, but if you prepare a burnt offering, then offer it to the LORD ." For Manoah did not know that he was the angel of the LORD .
Manoah said to the angel of the LORD , "What is your name, so that when your words come to pass, we may honor you?"
But the angel of the LORD said to him, "Why do you ask my name, seeing it is wonderful?"
So Manoah took the young goat with the grain offering and offered it on the rock to the LORD , and He performed wonders while Manoah and his wife looked on.
Judges 13:
Now
the angel of the LORD did not appear to Manoah or his wife again. Then Manoah knew that he was the angel of the LORD .
So Manoah said to his wife, "We will surely die, for we have seen God."
But his wife said to him, "If the LORD had desired to kill us, He would not have accepted a burnt offering and a grain offering from our hands, nor would He have shown us all these things, nor would He have let us hear things like this at this time."
