Judges 13:2-10

2And there was a certain man of Zoreah, of the family of the Danites, and his name was Manoah. And his wife was barren and did not bear.

3And the Angel of Jehovah appeared to the woman, and said to her, Behold now, thou art barren and bearest not; but thou shalt conceive and bear a son.

4And now beware, I pray thee, and drink not wine nor strong drink, and eat nothing unclean.

5For lo, thou shalt conceive, and bear a son, and no razor shall come on his head; for the boy shall be a Nazarite of 1God from the womb; and he shall begin to save Israel out of the hand of the Philistines.

6And the woman came and told her husband, saying, A man of 2God came to me, and his appearance was like the appearance of an angel of 3God, very terrible; but I did not ask him whence he was, neither did he tell me his name.

7And he said to me, Behold, thou shalt conceive and bear a son; and now drink not wine nor strong drink, and eat not anything unclean; for the boy shall be a Nazarite of 4God from the womb to the day of his death.

8Then Manoah prayed to Jehovah, and said, Ah Lord! let the man of 5God which thou didst send come again unto us, I pray thee, and teach us what we shall do unto the child that shall be born.

9And 6God hearkened to the voice of Manoah; and the Angel of 7God came again to the woman whilst she sat in the field; but Manoah her husband was not with her.

10Then the woman hasted and ran, and informed her husband, and said to him, Behold, the man has appeared to me, that came to me that day.
