Contemporary Bible Readings?

There are times when the wording of certain phrases in the bible can strike you as being rather, well, contemporary. This one was pointed out to me a couple of days ago:

Then the woman came and told her husband, "A man of God came to me, and his appearance was like the appearance of the angel of God, very awesome...
Judges 13:6 ESV


The thought of the woman telling her husband that she'd seen an angel and it was "well awesome" brought a smile to my face. Or maybe it's just me...
