Judges 13:9-18
9And GodH430 listenedH8085 to the voiceH6963 of ManoahH4495, and the angelH4397 of GodH430 returnedH935H5750 toH413 the womanH802 as sheH1931 was sittingH3427 in the fieldH7704; but her husbandH376 ManoahH4495 was notH369 with herH5973. 10The womanH376 ranH7323H5046 quicklyH4116 to tellH559 her husbandH802, “BeholdH2009, the manH376 whoH834 cameH935 to meH413 the other dayH3117 has reappearedH7200H413!”
11So ManoahH4495 got upH6965 and followedH1980H310 his wifeH802. When he cameH935 toH413 the manH376, he askedH559, “Are youH859 the manH376 whoH834 spokeH1696 toH413 my wifeH802?”
12Then ManoahH4495 askedH559, “WhenH6258 your wordsH1697 come to passH935, whatH4100 will beH1961 the boy’sH5288 rule of lifeH4941 and missionH4639?”
13So the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068H413 answeredH559 ManoahH4495, “Your wifeH802 is to doH8104 everythingH3605 I told herH559H413. 14She must notH3808 eatH398 anythingH3605 thatH834 comesH3318 from the vineH1612H3196, nor drinkH8354 any wineH3196 or strong drinkH7941, norH408 eatH398 anythingH3605 uncleanH2932H408. She must doH8104 everythingH3605 I have commanded herH6680.”
15“PleaseH4994 stay hereH6113,” ManoahH4495H413 saidH559 to the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068, “and we will prepareH6213 a young goatH1423H5795 for youH6440.”
16And the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068 repliedH559, “Even ifH518 I stayH6113, I will notH3808 eatH398 your foodH3899. But ifH518 you prepareH6213 a burnt offeringH5930, offer itH5927 to the LORDH3068.” ForH3588 ManoahH4495H3588 did notH3808 knowH3045 that itH1931 was the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068.
17Then ManoahH4495 saidH559 toH413 the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068, “WhatH4310 is your nameH8034, so thatH3588 we may honor youH3513 when your wordH1697 comes to passH935?”
18“WhyH4100H2088 do you askH7592 my nameH8034,” saidH559 the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068, “since itH1931 is beyond comprehensionH6383?”
