Philistines Oppress Again

13Now the sons of Israel again did evil in the sight of the LORD, so that the LORD gave them into the hands of the Philistines forty years.H1121H3478H6213H7451H3254H5869H3068H3068H5414H3027H6430H705H8141 2And there was a certain man of Zorah, of the family of the Danites, whose name was Manoah; and his wife was barren and had borne no [children.]H259H376H6881H4940H1839H8034H4495H802H6135H3205 3Then the angel of the LORD appeared to the woman, and said to her, "Behold now, you are barren and have borne no [children,] but you shall conceive and give birth to a son.H4397H3068H7200H802H559H6135H3205H2029H3205H1121 4"Now therefore, be careful not to drink wine or strong drink, nor eat any unclean thing.H8104H8354H3196H7941H398H2931 5"For behold, you shall conceive and give birth to a son, and no razor shall come upon his head, for the boy shall be a Nazirite to God from the womb; and he shall begin to deliver Israel from the hands of the Philistines."H2030H3205H1121H4177H5927H7218H5288H5139H430H990H2490H3467H3478H3027H6430 6Then the woman came and told her husband, saying, "A man of God came to me and his appearance was like the appearance of the angel of God, very awesome. And I did not ask him where he [came] from, nor did he tell me his name.H802H935H559H376H559H376H430H935H4758H4758H4397H430H3966H3372H7592H5046H8034 7"But he said to me, 'Behold, you shall conceive and give birth to a son, and now you shall not drink wine or strong drink nor eat any unclean thing, for the boy shall be a Nazirite to God from the womb to the day of his death.'"H559H2030H3205H1121H7941H3196H8354H398H2932H5288H5139H430H990H3117H4194 8Then Manoah entreated the LORD and said, "O Lord, please let the man of God whom Thou hast sent come to us again that he may teach us what to do for the boy who is to be born."H4495H6279H3068H559H994H136H4994H376H430H7971H935H3384H6213H5288H3205 9And God listened to the voice of Manoah; and the angel of God came again to the woman as she was sitting in the field, but Manoah her husband was not with her.H430H8085H6963H4495H4397H430H935H802H3427H7704H4495H376 10So the woman ran quickly and told her husband, "Behold, the man who came the [other] day has appeared to me."H802H4116H7323H5046H376H559H376H7200H935H3117 11Then Manoah arose and followed his wife, and when he came to the man he said to him, "Are you the man who spoke to the woman?" And he said, " I am. "H4495H6965H3212H310H802H935H376H559H376H1696H802H559 12And Manoah said, "Now when your words come [to pass,] what shall be the boy's mode of life and his vocation?"H4495H559H1697H935H4941H5288H4639 13So the angel of the LORD said to Manoah, "Let the woman pay attention to all that I said.H4397H3068H559H4495H559H802H8104 14"She should not eat anything that comes from the vine nor drink wine or strong drink, nor eat any unclean thing; let her observe all that I commanded."H398H3318H1612H8354H3196H7941H398H2932H6680H8104 15Then Manoah said to the angel of the LORD, "Please let us detain you so that we may prepare a kid for you."H4495H559H4397H3068H6113H6213H1423H5795H6440 16And the angel of the LORD said to Manoah, "Though you detain me, I will not eat your food, but if you prepare a burnt offering, [then] offer it to the LORD." For Manoah did not know that he was the angel of the LORD.H4397H3068H559H4495H6113H398H3899H518H6213H5930H5927H3068H4495H3045H4397H3068 17And Manoah said to the angel of the LORD, "What is your name, so that when your words come [to pass,] we may honor you?"H4495H559H4397H3068H8034H1697H935H3513 18But the angel of the LORD said to him, "Why do you ask my name, seeing it is wonderful?"H4397H3068H559H7592H8034H6383H6383 19So Manoah took the kid with the grain offering and offered it on the rock to the LORD, and He performed wonders while Manoah and his wife looked on.H4495H3947H1423H5795H4503H5927H6697H3068H6213H6381H4495H802H7200 20For it came about when the flame went up from the altar toward heaven, that the angel of the LORD ascended in the flame of the altar. When Manoah and his wife saw [this,] they fell on their faces to the ground.H3851H5927H8064H4196H4397H3068H5927H3851H4196H4495H802H7200H5307H6440H776 21Now the angel of the LORD appeared no more to Manoah or his wife. Then Manoah knew that he was the angel of the LORD.H4397H3068H3254H7200H4495H802H4495H3045H4397H3068 22So Manoah said to his wife, "We shall surely die, for we have seen God."H4495H559H802H4191H4191H7200H430 23But his wife said to him, "If the LORD had desired to kill us, He would not have accepted a burnt offering and a grain offering from our hands, nor would He have shown us all these things, nor would He have let us hear [things] like this at this time."H802H559H3863H3068H2654H4191H3947H5930H4503H3027H7200H6256H8085H2063 24Then the woman gave birth to a son and named him Samson; and the child grew up and the LORD blessed him.H802H3205H1121H7121H8034H8123H5288H1431H3068H1288 25And the Spirit of the LORD began to stir him in Mahaneh-dan, between Zorah and Eshtaol.H7307H3068H2490H6470H4264H1835H6881H847
