it on the rock to Yahweh: and [the angel] did wondrously,
and Manoah and his wife looked on.
013:020 For it happened, when the flame went up toward the sky
from off the altar, that the angel of Yahweh ascended in
the flame of the altar: and Manoah and his wife looked on;
and they fell on their faces to the ground.
013:021 But the angel of Yahweh did no more appear to Manoah or to his wife.
Then Manoah knew that he was the angel of Yahweh.
013:022 Manoah said to his wife, We shall surely die, because we
have seen God.
013:023 But his wife said to him, If Yahweh were pleased to kill us,
he wouldn't have received a burnt offering and a meal offering
at our hand, neither would he have shown us all these things,
nor would at this time have told such things as these.
013:024 The woman bore a son, and named him Samson: and the child grew,
and Yahweh blessed him.
013:025 The Spirit of Yahweh began to move him in Mahaneh Dan,
between Zorah and Eshtaol.
014:001 Samson went down to Timnah, and saw a woman in Timnah of
the daughters of the Philistines.
014:002 He came up, and told his father and his mother, and said,
I have seen a woman in Timnah of the daughters of the Philistines:
now therefore get her for me as wife.
014:003 Then his father and his mother said to him, Is there
never a woman among the daughters of your brothers,
or among all my people, that you go to take a wife of
the uncircumcised Philistines? Samson said to his father,
Get her for me; for she pleases me well.
014:004 But his father and his mother didn't know that it was of Yahweh;
for he sought an occasion against the Philistines.
Now at that time the Philistines had rule over Israel.
014:005 Then went Samson down, and his father and his mother,
to Timnah, and came to the vineyards of Timnah: and behold,
a young lion roared against him.
014:006 The Spirit of Yahweh came mightily on him, and he tore him
as he would have torn a kid; and he had nothing in his hand:
but he didn't tell his father or his mother what he had done.
014:007 He went down, and talked with the woman, and she pleased Samson well.
014:008 After a while he returned to take her; and he turned aside
to see the carcass of the lion: and behold, there was a swarm
of bees in the body of the lion, and honey.
014:009 He took it into his hands, and went on, eating as he went;
and he came to his father and mother, and gave to them,
and they ate: but he didn't tell them that he had taken
the honey out of the body of the lion.
014:010 His father went down to the woman: and Samson made there a feast;
for so used the young men to do.
014:011 It happened, when they saw him, that they brought thirty
companions to be with him.
