Judges 13:2-7
2Now there wasH1961 aH259 manH376 from ZorahH6881 namedH8034 ManoahH4495, from the clanH4940 of the DanitesH1839, whose wifeH802 was barrenH6135 and had noH3808 childrenH3205. 3The angelH43971 of the LORDH3068 appearedH7200 toH413 the womanH802 and saidH559 to herH413, “It is trueH2009H4994 that youH859 are barrenH6135 and have noH3808 childrenH3205; but you will conceiveH2029 and give birth toH3205 a sonH1121. 4NowH6258 pleaseH4994 be carefulH8104 notH408 to drinkH8354 wineH3196 or strong drinkH7941, and notH408 to eatH398 anythingH3605 uncleanH2931. 5ForH3588 beholdH2009, you will conceiveH2030 and give birth toH3205 a sonH1121. And noH3808 razorH4177 shall touchH5927H5921 his headH7218, becauseH3588 the boyH5288 will beH1961 a NaziriteH51392 to GodH430 fromH4480 the wombH990, and heH1931 will beginH2490 the deliveranceH3467 of IsraelH3478 from the handH3027 of the PhilistinesH6430.”
6So the womanH802 wentH935 and toldH559 her husbandH376H559, “A manH376 of GodH430 cameH935 to meH413. His appearance was likeH4758 the angelH4397 of GodH430, exceedinglyH3966 awesomeH3372. I did notH3808 ask himH7592 whereH335 he came fromH2088, and he did notH3808 tellH5046 me his nameH8034. 7But he saidH559 to me, ‘BeholdH2009, you will conceiveH2030 and give birth toH3205 a sonH1121. Now, thereforeH6258, do notH408 drinkH8354 wineH3196 or strong drinkH7941, and do notH408 eatH398 anythingH3605 uncleanH2932, becauseH3588 the boyH5288 will beH1961 a NaziriteH5139 to GodH430 fromH4480 the wombH990 untilH5704 the dayH3117 of his deathH4194.’”
