Judges 13:8-14

8Then Manoah pleaded with the Lord, “Please, Lord, let the man of God you sent come back to us. Let him teach us what we must do for the boy who will be born.”

9God did what Manoah asked. The Messenger of God came back to his wife while she was sitting out in the fields. But her husband Manoah was not with her.

10The woman ran quickly to tell her husband. She said, “The man who came to me the other day has just appeared to me ⌞again⌟.”

11Manoah immediately followed his wife. When he came to the man, he asked him, “Are you the man who spoke to my wife?” “Yes,” he answered.

12Then Manoah asked, “When your words come true, how should the boy live and what should he do?”

13The Messenger of the Lord answered Manoah, “Your wife must be careful to do everything I told her to do.

14She must not eat anything that comes from the grapevines, drink any wine or liquor, or eat any unclean food. She must be careful to do everything I commanded.”
