@ 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
.
strkjv@Judges:13:2
@ 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.
strkjv@Judges:13:3
@ And the
angel
of the
LORD
appeared
unto the
woman
, and
said
unto her, Behold now, thou art
barren
, and
bearest
not: but thou shalt
conceive
, and
bear
a
son
.
strkjv@Judges:13:4
@ Now therefore
beware
, I pray thee, and
drink
not
wine
nor strong
drink
, and
eat
not any
unclean
thing:
strkjv@Judges:13:5
@ 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
.
strkjv@Judges:13:6
@ 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
:
strkjv@Judges:13:7
@ 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
.
strkjv@Judges:13:8
@ 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
.
strkjv@Judges:13:9
@ 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.
strkjv@Judges:13:10
@ 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
.
strkjv@Judges:13:11
@ 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.
strkjv@Judges:13:12
@ And
Manoah
said
, Now let thy
words
come to
pass
. How shall we
order
the
child
, and how shall we
do
unto him?
strkjv@Judges:13:13
@ And the
angel
of the
LORD
said
unto
Manoah
, Of all that I
said
unto the
woman
let her
beware
.
strkjv@Judges:13:14
@ 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
.
strkjv@Judges:13:15
@ And
Manoah
said
unto the
angel
of the
LORD
, I pray thee, let us
detain
thee, until we shall have made
ready
a
kid
g@
for
thee.
strkjv@Judges:13:16
@ 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
.
strkjv@Judges:13:17
@ 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
?
strkjv@Judges:13:18
@ And the
angel
of the
LORD
said
unto him, Why
askest
thou thus after my
name
, seeing it is
secret
?
strkjv@Judges:13:19
@ So
Manoah
took
a
kid
g@
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
.
strkjv@Judges:13:20
@ 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
.
strkjv@Judges:13:21
@ 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
.
strkjv@Judges:13:22
@ And
Manoah
said
unto his
wife
, We shall
surely
die
, because we have
seen
God
.
strkjv@Judges:13:23
@ 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
.
strkjv@Judges:13:24
@ And the
woman
bare
a
son
, and
called
his
name
Samson
: and the
child
grew
, and the
LORD
blessed
him.
strkjv@Judges:13:25
@ And the
Spirit
of the
LORD
began
to move him at
times
in the
camp
of
Dan
between
Zorah
and
Eshtaol
