Judges 13:2-23

2And there was a certainH259 manH376 of ZorahH6881, of the familyH4940 of the DanitesH1839, whose nameH8034 was ManoahH4495; and his wifeH802 was barrenH6135, and boreH3205 not. 3And the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068 appearedH7200 to the womanH802, and saidH559 to her, Behold now, thou art barrenH6135, and bearestH3205 not: but thou shalt conceiveH2029, and bearH3205 a sonH1121. 4Now therefore bewareH8104, I pray thee, and drinkH8354 not wineH3196 nor strong drinkH7941, and eatH398 not any uncleanH2931 thing : 5For, lo, thou shalt conceiveH2030, and bearH3205 a sonH1121; and no razorH4177 shall comeH5927 on his headH7218: for the childH5288 shall be a NazariteH5139 to GodH430 from the wombH990: and he shall beginH2490 to deliverH3467 IsraelH3478 from the handH3027 of the PhilistinesH6430. 6Then the womanH802 cameH935 and toldH559 her husbandH376, sayingH559, A manH376 of GodH430 cameH935 to me, and his countenanceH4758 was like the countenanceH4758 of an angelH4397 of GodH430, veryH3966 terribleH3372: but I askedH7592 him not where he was from, neither did he tellH5046 me his nameH8034: 7But he saidH559 to me, Behold, thou shalt conceiveH2030, and bearH3205 a sonH1121; and now drinkH7941 no wineH3196 nor strong drinkH8354, neither eatH398 any uncleanH2932 thing : for the childH5288 shall be a NazariteH5139 to GodH430 from the wombH990 to the dayH3117 of his deathH4194.

8Then ManoahH4495 entreatedH6279 the LORDH3068, and saidH559, OH994 my LordH136, letH4994 the manH376 of GodH430 whom thou didst sendH7971 come againH935 to us, and teachH3384 us what we shall doH6213 to the childH5288 that shall be bornH3205. 9And GodH430 hearkenedH8085 to the voiceH6963 of ManoahH4495; and the angelH4397 of GodH430 came againH935 to the womanH802 as she satH3427 in the fieldH7704: but ManoahH4495 her husbandH376 was not with her. 10And the womanH802 made hasteH4116, and ranH7323, and showedH5046 her husbandH376, and saidH559 to him, Behold, the manH376 hath appearedH7200 to me, that cameH935 to me the other dayH3117. 11And ManoahH4495 aroseH6965, and wentH3212 afterH310 his wifeH802, and cameH935 to the manH376, and saidH559 to him, Art thou the manH376 that didst speakH1696 to the womanH802? And he saidH559, I am . 12And ManoahH4495 saidH559, Now let thy wordsH1697 come to passH935. How shall we orderH4941 the childH5288, and how shall we doH4639 to him?12 13And the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068 saidH559 to ManoahH4495, Of all that I saidH559 to the womanH802 let her bewareH8104. 14She may not eatH398 of any thing that comethH3318 of the vineH1612, neither let her drinkH8354 wineH3196 or strong drinkH7941, nor eatH398 any uncleanH2932 thing : all that I commandedH6680 her let her observeH8104.

15And ManoahH4495 saidH559 to the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068, I pray thee, let us detainH6113 thee, until we shall have made readyH6213 a kidH1423H5795 forH6440 thee.3 16And the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068 saidH559 to ManoahH4495, Though thou shouldest detainH6113 me, I will not eatH398 of thy foodH3899: and ifH518 thou wilt offerH6213 a burnt offeringH5930, thou must offerH5927 it to the LORDH3068. For ManoahH4495 knewH3045 not that he was an angelH4397 of the LORDH3068. 17And ManoahH4495 saidH559 to the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068, What is thy nameH8034, that when thy sayingsH1697 come to passH935 we may do thee honourH3513? 18And the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068 saidH559 to him, Why askestH7592 thou thus after my nameH8034, seeing it is wonderfulH6383?4 19So ManoahH4495 tookH3947 a kidH1423H5795 with a meat offeringH4503, and offeredH5927 it upon a rockH6697 to the LORDH3068: and the angel didH6213 wondrouslyH6381; and ManoahH4495 and his wifeH802 looked onH7200. 20For it came to pass, when the flameH3851 ascendedH5927 toward heavenH8064 from off the altarH4196, that the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068 ascendedH5927 in the flameH3851 of the altarH4196. And ManoahH4495 and his wifeH802 looked onH7200 it, and fell onH5307 their facesH6440 to the groundH776. 21But the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068 did no moreH3254 appearH7200 to ManoahH4495 and to his wifeH802. Then ManoahH4495 knewH3045 that he was an angelH4397 of the LORDH3068. 22And ManoahH4495 saidH559 to his wifeH802, We shall surelyH4191 dieH4191, because we have seenH7200 GodH430. 23But his wifeH802 saidH559 to him, IfH3863 the LORDH3068 were pleasedH2654 to killH4191 us, he would not have receivedH3947 a burnt offeringH5930 and a meat offeringH4503 at our handsH3027, neither would he have showedH7200 us all these things, nor would as at this timeH6256 have toldH8085 us such things as theseH2063.
