Judges 13:2-23

2And there was a certain manH376 of Zoreah, of the familyH4940 of the Danites, and his nameH8034 was ManoahH4495. And his wifeH802 was barrenH6135 and did not bearH3205.

3And the AngelH4397 of Jehovah appearedH7200 to the womanH802, and saidH559 to her, Behold now, thou art barrenH6135 and bearest not; but thou shalt conceiveH2029 and bearH3205 a sonH1121.

4And nowH6258 beware, I pray thee, and drinkH8354 not wineH3196 nor strongH7941 drinkH8354, and eatH398 nothing uncleanH2931.

5For lo, thou shalt conceiveH2029, and bearH3205 a sonH1121, and no razor shall come on his headH7218; for the boy shall beH1961 a Nazarite of 1GodH430 from the wombH990; and he shall beginH2490 to saveH3467 IsraelH3478 out of the handH3027 of the PhilistinesH6430.

6And the womanH802 cameH935 and toldH5046 her husbandH376, sayingH559, A manH376 of 2GodH430 cameH935 to me, and his appearanceH4758 was like the appearanceH4758 of an angelH4397 of 3GodH430, veryH3966 terrible; but I did not askH7592 him whence he was, neither did he tellH5046 me his nameH8034.

7And he saidH559 to me, Behold, thou shalt conceiveH2029 and bearH3205 a sonH1121; and nowH6258 drinkH8354 not wineH3196 nor strongH7941 drinkH8354, and eatH398 not anything unclean; for the boy shall beH1961 a Nazarite of 4GodH430 from the wombH990 to the dayH3117 of his deathH4194.

8Then ManoahH4495 prayedH6279 to Jehovah, and saidH559, Ah Lord! let the manH376 of 5GodH430 which thou didst sendH7971 comeH935 againH5750 unto us, I pray thee, and teachH3384 us what we shall do unto the child that shall be bornH3205.

9And 6GodH430 hearkened to the voiceH6963 of ManoahH4495; and the AngelH4397 of 7GodH430 cameH935 againH5750 to the womanH802 whilst she satH3427 in the fieldH7704; but ManoahH4495 her husbandH376 was not with her.

10Then the womanH802 hasted and ranH7323, and informed her husbandH376, and saidH559 to him, Behold, the manH376 has appearedH7200 to me, that cameH935 to me that dayH3117.

11And ManoahH4495 roseH6965 up and wentH935 after his wifeH802, and cameH935 to the manH376, and saidH559 to him, Art thou the manH376 that didst speakH1696 to the womanH802? And he saidH559, I am.

12And ManoahH4495 saidH559, When thy wordsH1697 then comeH935 to pass, what shall beH1961 the child's mannerH1697 and his doing?

13And the AngelH4397 of Jehovah saidH559 to ManoahH4495, Of all that I saidH559 unto the womanH802 let her beware:

14she shall not eatH398 of anything that cometh of the vineH1612, neither shall she drinkH8354 wineH3196 or strongH7941 drinkH8354, nor eatH398 anything unclean: all that I commandedH6680 her shall she observeH8104.

15And ManoahH4495 saidH559 to the AngelH4397 of Jehovah, I pray thee, let us detainH6113 thee, and we will makeH6213 ready a kid of the goatsH5795 for thee.

16And the AngelH4397 of Jehovah saidH559 to ManoahH4495, Though thou shouldest detainH6113 me, I will not eatH398 of thy breadH3899; and if thou wilt offerH5927 a burnt-offering, thou shalt offerH5927 it up to Jehovah. For ManoahH4495 knewH3045 not that he was the AngelH4397 of Jehovah.

17And ManoahH4495 saidH559 to the AngelH4397 of Jehovah, What is thy nameH8034, that when thy wordH1697 cometh to pass we may do thee honour?

18And the AngelH4397 of Jehovah saidH559 to him, HowH4100 is it that thou askest after my nameH8034, seeing it is wonderful?

19Then ManoahH4495 tookH3947 the kid and the oblation, and offeredH5927 it up to Jehovah upon the rockH6697. And he did wondrously, and ManoahH4495 and his wifeH802 lookedH7200 on.

20And it came to pass, as the flameH3851 wentH5927 up from off the altarH4196 towards the heavensH8064, that the AngelH4397 of Jehovah ascended in the flameH3851 of the altarH4196; and ManoahH4495 and his wifeH802 lookedH7200 on, and fellH5307 on their facesH6440 to the groundH776.

21And the AngelH4397 of Jehovah appearedH7200 no more to ManoahH4495 and to his wifeH802. ThenH227 ManoahH4495 knewH3045 that it was the AngelH4397 of Jehovah.

22And ManoahH4495 saidH559 to his wifeH802, We shall surely dieH4191, because we have seenH7200 8GodH430.

23But his wifeH802 saidH559 to him, If Jehovah were pleasedH2654 to killH4191 us, he would not have receivedH3947 a burnt-offering and an oblation at our handsH3027, neither would he have shewed us all these thingsH428, nor would he at this timeH6256 have told us [such thingsH428] as these.
