New Living Translation
Judges 13:8-14
8Then Manoah prayed to the Lord, saying, “Lord, please let the man of God come back to us again and give us more instructions about this son who is to be born.”
9God answered Manoah’s prayer, and the angel of God appeared once again to his wife as she was sitting in the field. But her husband, Manoah, was not with her.
10So she quickly ran and told her husband, “The man who appeared to me the other day is here again!”
11Manoah ran back with his wife and asked, “Are you the man who spoke to my wife the other day?” “Yes,” he replied, “I am.”
12So Manoah asked him, “When your words come true, what kind of rules should govern the boy’s life and work?”
13The angel of the Lord replied, “Be sure your wife follows the instructions I gave her.
14She must not eat grapes or raisins, drink wine or any other alcoholic drink, or eat any forbidden food.”
