Judges 13:4-14
4NowH6258 therefore, be carefulH8104 1not to drinkH8354 wineH3196 or strongH7941 drinkH7941, norH408 eatH398 anyH3605 uncleanH2931 thingH2931. 52For beholdH2009, you shall conceiveH2030 and giveH3205 birthH3205 to a sonH1121, and noH3808 razorH4177 shall comeH5927 upon his headH7218, for the boyH5288 shall be a 3NaziriteH5139 to GodH430 from the wombH990; and he shall beginH2490 to deliverH3467 IsraelH3478 from the handsH3027 of the PhilistinesH6430.” 6Then the womanH802 cameH935 and toldH559 her husbandH376, sayingH559, “4A manH376 of GodH430 cameH935 to me and his appearanceH4758 was like the appearanceH4758 of the angelH4397 of GodH430, veryH3966 awesomeH3372. And I did not askH7592 him whereH335 he came from, norH3808 did he tellH5046 me his nameH8034. 7But he saidH559 to me, ‘BeholdH2009, you shall conceiveH2030 and giveH3205 birthH3205 to a sonH1121, and nowH6258 you shall not drinkH8354 wineH3196 or strongH7941 drinkH7941 norH408 eatH398 anyH3605 uncleanH2932 thingH2932, for the boyH5288 shall be a NaziriteH5139 to GodH430 from the wombH990 to the dayH3117 of his deathH4194.’”
8Then ManoahH4495 entreatedH6279 the LordH3068 and saidH559, “OH994 LordH136, pleaseH994H4994 let 5the manH376 of GodH430 whomH834 You have sentH7971 comeH935 to us againH5750 that he may teachH3384 us whatH4100 to doH6213 for the boyH5288 who is to be bornH3205.” 9GodH430 listenedH8085 to the voiceH6963 of ManoahH4495; and 6the angelH4397 of GodH430 cameH935 againH5750 to the womanH802 as she was sittingH3427 in the fieldH7704, but ManoahH4495 her husbandH376 was not with her. 10So the womanH802 ranH7323 quicklyH4116 and toldH5046 her 7husbandH376, “BeholdH2009, 8the manH376 whoH834 9cameH935 the other dayH3117 has appearedH7200 to me.” 11Then ManoahH4495 aroseH6965 and followedH1980H310 his wifeH802, and when he cameH935 to the manH376 he saidH559 to him, “Are you 10the manH376 whoH834 spokeH1696 to the womanH802?” And he saidH559, “I am.” 12ManoahH4495 saidH559, “NowH6258 when your wordsH1697 comeH935 to pass, whatH4100 shall be the boy’sH5288 modeH4941 of lifeH4941 and his vocationH4639?” 13So 11the angelH4397 of the LordH3068 saidH559 to ManoahH4495, “12Let the womanH802 payH8104 attentionH8104 13to allH3605 that I saidH559. 14She should not eatH398 anythingH3605 that comesH3318 from the 14vineH1612 norH408 drinkH8354 wineH3196 or strongH7941 drinkH7941, norH408 eatH398 anyH3605 uncleanH2932 thingH2932; let her observeH8104 allH3605 that I commandedH6680.”
