Judges 13:8-14

8Manoah prayed to the Lord, ‘Lord, please send the man of God to come to us again. Let him teach us how we should take care of this boy who will be born.’

9God did what Manoah had asked. The angel came again to visit Manoah's wife. She was resting in the fields and her husband was not with her.

10She ran to tell her husband, ‘Come quickly! The man who came to me the other day has appeared to me again!’

11Manoah got up and he followed his wife. When he met the man, he asked him, ‘Are you the man who talked to my wife?’ The man said, ‘Yes, I am.’

12Then Manoah asked him, ‘When what you promised happens, how should the boy live? What kind of work will he do?’

13The Lord's angel answered, ‘Your wife must be careful to do everything that I told her.

14She must not eat anything that comes from vines. She must not drink wine or beer. She must not eat any food that is unclean. She must obey everything that I have commanded her to do.’
