11So Manoah got up and followed his wife, and when he came to the man he said to him, “Are you the man who spoke to the woman?” And he said, “I am.” 12Then Manoah said, “Now when your words are fulfilled, what shall be the boy’s way of life and his vocation?” And the angel of the Lord said to Manoah, “The woman shall pay attention to all that I said. 14She shall not eat anything that comes from the vine nor drink wine or strong drink, nor eat any unclean thing; she shall keep all that I commanded.” 15Then Manoah said to the angel of the Lord, “Please let us detain you so that we may prepare a young goat for you.”
