Judges 13:8-14

8Then Manoah pleaded with the Lord and said, “O Lord, please let the Man of God whom You sent come again to us and teach us what we are to do for the boy who is to be born.”

9And God listened to the voice of Manoah; and the Angel of God came again to the woman as she sat in the field, but Manoah her husband was not with her.

10So the woman ran quickly and told her husband, “Behold, the Man who came to me the other day has appeared to me.”

11Then Manoah got up and followed his wife, and came to the Man and said to him, “Are you the Man who spoke to this woman?” He said, “I am.”

12And Manoah said, “Now when your words come true, what shall be the boy’s manner of life, and his vocation?”

13The Angel of the Lord said to Manoah, “The woman must pay attention to everything that I said to her.

14She may not eat anything that comes from the vine nor drink wine or [any other] intoxicating drink, nor eat anything [ceremonially] unclean. She shall observe everything that I commanded her.”
