and they fell on their faces to the ground
(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_was in/on/at/with,went_up the,flame from=under the,altar the,heaven,toward and=he/it_ascended angel YHWH in/on/at/with,flame the,altar and,Manoah and=his/its=woman/wife saw and,fell on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in faces,their ground,to )
The expression fell on their faces means that Manoah and his wife intentionally got down on their knees and bowed their faces to the ground as a symbolic action. In that culture, this act was an expression of reverence and worship. It was a way that a person showed great respect and reverence for someone else. If there is a gesture with similar meaning in your culture, you could consider using it here in your translation. You could also explain the purpose of this action. Alternate translation: “and they bowed down to the ground in fear and reverence”
13:19-22 It is not possible for human beings to take in the full revelation of God’s holy presence and still live (cp. 6:20-24; Exod 19:21; 33:20). The Old Testament frequently reports divine visitations on earth in human form; these visitations foreshadow the full appearance of God on earth in the incarnation of Jesus.
