1
And the children
of Israel did evil again in the sight of the
L
ORD
; and the
L
ORD
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
L
ORD
appeared unto the woman, and said unto her, Behold now, thou
art
barren, and bearest not: 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 razor 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
L
ORD
, 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
L
ORD
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
L
ORD
, I pray thee, let us detain thee, until we shall have made ready a kid for thee.
16
And the angel of the
L
ORD
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
L
ORD
. For Manoah knew not that he
was
an angel of the
L
ORD
.
17
And Manoah said unto the angel of the
L
ORD
, What
is
thy name, that when thy sayings come to pass we may do thee honour?
And the angel of the
L
ORD
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
L
ORD
: 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
L
ORD
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
L
ORD
did no more appear to Manoah and to his wife. Then Manoah knew that he
was
an angel of the
L
ORD
.
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
L
ORD
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
L
ORD
blessed him.
25
And the Spirit of the
L
ORD
began to move him at times in the camp of Dan between Zorah and Eshtaol.
