1
And the children
of Israel
did
evil
again
in the sight
of the LORD
;
and the LORD
delivered
them into the hand
of the Philistines
forty
years
.
2
And there was a certain
man
of Zorah
,
of the family
of the Danites
,
whose name
was
Manoah
;
and his wife
was
barren
,
and bare
not.
3
And the angel
of the LORD
appeared
unto the woman
,
and said
unto her,
Behold
no
w
, thou
art
barren,
and bear
est
no
t: but thou shalt conceive,
and bear
a son
.
4
Now
therefore beware
, I pray thee, and drink
not wine
nor
strong drink
,
and eat
not
any
unclean
thing
:
5
For, lo, thou shalt conceive,
and bear
a son
;
and no
rasor
shall come
on his head
:
for the child
shall be a Nazarite
unto God
from the womb
:
and he shall begin
to deliver
Israel
out of the hand
of the Philistines
.
6
Then the woman
came
and told
her husband
,
saying
,
A man
of God
came
unto me, and his countenance
was
like the countenance
of an angel
of God
,
very
terrible
:
but I asked
him not whence he
was
, neither told
he me his name
:
7
But he said
unto me,
Behold
, thou shalt conceive,
and bear
a son
;
and now
drink
no wine
nor
strong drink
,
neither eat
any
unclean
thing
: for the child
shall be a Nazarite
to God
from the womb
to the day
of his death
.
8
Then Manoah
intreated
the LORD
,
and said
,
O
my Lord
,
let
the man
of God
which thou didst send
come
again
unto us, and teach us
what
we shall do
unto the child
that shall be born
.
9
And God
hearkened
to the voice
of Manoah
;
and the angel
of God
came
again
unto the woman
as she sat
in the field
:
but Manoah
her husband
was
not with her.
10
And the woman
made haste
,
and ran
,
and shewed
her husband
, and said unto him,
Behold
, the man
hath appeared
unto me, that came
unto me the
other
day
.
11
And Manoah
arose
, and went after
his wife
,
and came
to the man
,
and
said
unto him,
Art
thou the man
that spakest
unto the woman? And he
said
, I
am
.
12
And Manoah
said
,
Now
let thy words
come to pass
.
How shall we order
the child
,
and
how
shall we do
unto him?
13
And the angel
of the LORD
said
unto Manoah
,
Of all that I
said
unto the woman
let her beware
.
14
She may not eat
of
any
thing
that cometh
of the vine
,
neither let her drink
wine
or strong drink
,
nor
eat
any
unclean
thing
:
all
that I commanded
her let her observe
.
15
And Manoah
said
unto the angel
of the LORD
, I pray thee, let us detain thee, until we shall have made ready a
kid
for thee.
16
And the angel
of the LORD
said
unto Manoah
,
Though thou detain
me, I will not eat
of thy bread
:
and
if
thou wilt offer
a burnt offering
,
thou must offer
it unto the LORD
.
For Manoah
knew
not that he
was
an angel
of the LORD
.
17
And Manoah
said
unto the angel
of the LORD
,
What
is
thy name
, that when thy sayings
come to pass
we may do thee honour
?
18
And the angel
of the LORD
said
unto him,
Why
askest
thou thus after my name
, seeing it
is
secret
?
19
So Manoah
took
a
kid
with a meat offering
,
and offered
it
upon a rock
unto the LORD
:
and
the angel
did
wondrously
;
and Manoah
and his wife
looked on
.
20
For it
came
to pass, when the flame
went up
toward heaven
from off the altar
,
that the angel
of the LORD
ascended
in the flame
of the altar
.
And Manoah
and his wife
looked on
it
, and fell on
their faces
to the ground
.
21
But the angel
of the LORD
did no more
appear
to Manoah
and to his wife
.
Then
Manoah
knew
that he
was
an angel
of the LORD
.
22
And Manoah
said
unto his wife
,
We shall surely
die
,
because we have seen
God
.
23
But his wife
said
unto him, If
the LORD
were pleased
to kill
us, he would not have received
a burnt offering
and a meat offering
at our hands
,
neither would he have shewed
us
all
these
things
,
nor
would as at this time
have told
us
such things
as
these
.
24
And the woman
bare
a son
,
and called
his name
Samson
:
and the child
grew
,
and the LORD
blessed
him.
25
And the Spirit
of the LORD
began
to move him at times
in the camp of Dan
between
Zorah
and Eshtaol
.
