of the Philistines forty years.
013:002 There was a certain man of Zorah, of the family of the Danites,
whose name was Manoah; and his wife was barren, and didn't bear.
013:003 The angel of Yahweh appeared to the woman, and said to her,
See now, you are barren, and don't bear; but you shall conceive,
and bear a son.
013:004 Now therefore please beware and drink no wine nor strong drink,
and don't eat any unclean thing:
013:005 for, behold, you shall conceive, and bear a son; and no razor
shall come on his head; for the child shall be a Nazirite
to God from the womb: and he shall begin to save Israel
out of the hand of the Philistines.
013:006 Then the woman came and told her husband, saying, A man of God
came to me, and his face was like the face of the angel
of God, very awesome; and I didn't ask him whence he was,
neither did he tell me his name:
013:007 but he said to me, Behold, you shall conceive, and bear a son;
and now drink no wine nor strong drink, and eat not any
unclean thing; for the child shall be a Nazirite to God
from the womb to the day of his death.
013:008 Then Manoah entreated Yahweh, and said, Oh, Lord, please let
the man of God whom you did send come again to us, and teach
us what we shall do to the child who shall be born.
013:009 God listened to the voice of Manoah; and the angel of God
came again to the woman as she sat in the field:
but Manoah, her husband, wasn't with her.
013:010 The woman made haste, and ran, and told her husband, and said
to him, Behold, the man has appeared to me, who came to me
the [other] day.
013:011 Manoah arose, and went after his wife, and came to the man,
and said to him, Are you the man who spoke to the woman?
He said, I am.
013:012 Manoah said, Now let your words happen: what shall be the ordering
of the child, and [how] shall we do to him?
013:013 The angel of Yahweh said to Manoah, Of all that I said
to the woman let her beware.
013:014 She may not eat of anything that comes of the vine, neither let
her drink wine or strong drink, nor eat any unclean thing;
all that I commanded her let her observe.
013:015 Manoah said to the angel of Yahweh, I pray you, let us detain you,
that we may make ready a kid for you.
013:016 The angel of Yahweh said to Manoah, Though you detain me,
I won't eat of your bread; and if you will make ready
a burnt offering, you must offer it to Yahweh.
For Manoah didn't know that he was the angel of Yahweh.
013:017 Manoah said to the angel of Yahweh, What is your name,
that when your words happen, we may honor you?
013:018 The angel of Yahweh said to him, Why do you ask after my name,
seeing it is wonderful?
013:019 So Manoah took the kid with the meal offering, and offered
