Judges 13:2-10

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.
