Revised Version 1895

1And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 againH3254 didH6213 that whichH5869 was evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068; and the LORDH3068 deliveredH5414 them intoH3027 the handH3027 of the PhilistinesH6430 fortyH705 yearsH8141. 2And there was a certainH259 manH376 of ZorahH6881, of the familyH4940 of the DanitesH1839, whoseH376 nameH8034 was ManoahH4495; and his wifeH802 was barrenH6135, and bare notH3808. 3And the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068 appearedH7200 unto the womanH802, and saidH559 unto herH413, BeholdH2009 nowH4994, thou art barrenH6135, and bearest notH3808: but thou shalt conceiveH2029, and bearH3205 a sonH1121. 4NowH6258 therefore bewareH8104, I prayH4994 thee, and drinkH8354 noH408 wineH3196 norH408 strongH7941 drinkH8354, and eatH398 notH408 anyH3605 uncleanH2931 thingH4994: 5for, loH2009, thou shalt conceiveH2029, and bearH3205 a sonH1121; and noH3808 razor shall comeH1961 uponH5921 his headH7218: for the childH5288 shall be a NaziriteH5139 unto GodH430 from the wombH990: and he shall beginH2490 to saveH3467 IsraelH3478 outH4480 of the handH3027 of the PhilistinesH6430. 6Then the womanH802 cameH935 and toldH5046 herH413 husbandH376, sayingH559, A manH376 of GodH430 cameH935 unto meH413, and his countenance was like the countenance of the angelH4397 of GodH430, veryH3966 terrible; and I askedH7592 him notH3808 whence he was, neitherH3808 toldH5046 he meH413 his nameH8034: 7but he saidH559 unto meH4480, BeholdH2009, thou shalt conceiveH2029, and bearH3205 a sonH1121; and nowH6258 drinkH8354 noH408 wineH3196 norH408 strongH7941 drinkH8354, and eatH398 notH408 anyH3605 uncleanH2932 thingH3588: for the childH5288 shall be a NaziriteH5139 unto GodH430 from the wombH990 to the dayH3117 of his deathH4194. 8Then ManoahH4495 entreatedH6279 the LORDH3068, and saidH559, OhH4994 LordH3068, I prayH4994 thee, letH7971 the manH376 of GodH430 whomH834 thou didst sendH7971 comeH935 againH5750 unto usH4994, and teachH3384 usH4994 whatH4100 weH834 shall doH6213 ontoH413 the childH5288 that shall be bornH3205. 9And GodH430 hearkened to the voiceH6963 of ManoahH4495; and the angelH4397 of GodH430 cameH935 againH5750 unto the womanH802 as sheH1931 satH3427 in the fieldH7704: but ManoahH4495 herH413 husbandH376 was notH369 with herH413. 10And the womanH802 madeH4116 hasteH4116, and ranH7323, and toldH5046 herH413 husbandH376, and saidH559 unto him, BeholdH2009, the manH376 hath appearedH7200 unto meH413, that cameH935 unto meH413 the otherH376 dayH3117. 11And ManoahH4495 aroseH6965, and wentH935 afterH310 his wifeH802, and cameH935 to the manH376, and saidH559 unto him, Art thou the manH376 that spakest unto the womanH802? And he saidH559, I am. 12And ManoahH4495 saidH559, NowH6258 letH6258 thy wordsH1697 comeH935 to passH935: whatH4100 shall be the mannerH1697 of the childH5288, and whatH4100 shall be his workH4639? 13And the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto ManoahH4495, Of allH3605 that I saidH559 unto the womanH802 let herH3605 bewareH8104. 14SheH834 may notH3808 eatH398 of anyH3605 thingH3605 that cometh of the vineH1612, neitherH3808 letH408 herH3605 drinkH8354 wineH3196 or strongH7941 drinkH8354, norH3808 eatH398 anyH3605 uncleanH2932 thingH3605; allH3605 that I commandedH6680 herH3605 letH408 herH3605 observeH8104. 15And ManoahH4495 saidH559 unto the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068, I prayH4994 thee, letH4994 usH4994 detainH6113 thee, that weH4994 may makeH6213 ready a kid for thee. 16And the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto ManoahH4495, ThoughH3588 thou detainH6113 meH413, I will notH3808 eatH398 of thy breadH3899: and ifH518 thou wilt makeH6213 ready a burntH5930 offering, thou mustH518 offerH5927 it ontoH413 the LORDH3068. For ManoahH4495 knewH3045 notH3808 that he was the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068. 17And ManoahH4495 saidH559 unto the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068, WhatH1697 is thy nameH8034, that when thy wordsH1697 comeH935 to passH935 weH3588 may doH4310 thee honour? 18And the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto him, Wherefore askest thou afterH8034 my nameH8034, seeing it is wonderfulH6383? 19SoH6213 ManoahH4495 tookH3947 the kid with the mealH4503 offering, and offeredH5927 it uponH5921 the rockH6697 unto the LORDH3068: and the angel didH6213 wondrouslyH6381, and ManoahH4495 and his wifeH802 lookedH7200 on. 20For it cameH1961 to passH1961, when the flameH3851 wentH5927 upH5927 towardH5921 heavenH8064 from offH5921 the altarH4196, that the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068 ascendedH5927 in the flameH3851 of the altarH4196: and ManoahH4495 and his wifeH802 lookedH7200 on; and they fellH5307 on their facesH6440 to the groundH776. 21But the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068 didH3254 noH3808 moreH5750 appearH7200 to ManoahH4495 or to his wifeH802. Then ManoahH4495 knewH3045 that he was the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068. 22And ManoahH4495 saidH559 unto his wifeH802, WeH3588 shall surelyH3588 dieH4191, becauseH3588 weH3588 have seenH7200 GodH430. 23But his wifeH802 saidH559 unto him, IfH3863 the LORDH3068 were pleasedH2654 to killH4191 usH7200, he would notH3808 have receivedH3947 a burntH5930 offering and a mealH4503 offering at our handH3027, neitherH3808 would he have shewed usH7200 allH3605 theseH428 things, norH3808 would at this time have toldH559 usH7200 suchH428 things as theseH428. 24And the womanH802 bare a sonH1121, and calledH7121 his nameH8034 SamsonH8123: and the childH5288 grewH1431, and the LORDH3068 blessedH1288 him. 25And the spiritH7307 of the LORDH3068 beganH2490 to move him in Mahaneh-dan, betweenH996 ZorahH6881 and EshtaolH847.
