1 # And the children <01121> of Israel <03478> did <06213> (8800) evil <07451> again <03254> (8686) in the sight <05869> of the LORD <03068>; and the LORD <03068> delivered <05414> (8799) them into the hand <03027> of the Philistines <06430> forty <0705> years <08141>.
2 And there was a certain <0259> man <0376> of Zorah <06881>, of the family <04940> of the Danites <01839>, whose name <08034> was Manoah <04495>; and his wife <0802> was barren <06135>, and bare <03205> (8804) not.
3 And the angel <04397> of the LORD <03068> appeared <07200> (8735) unto the woman <0802>, and said <0559> (8799) unto her, Behold now, thou art barren <06135>, and bearest <03205> (8804) not: but thou shalt conceive <02029> (8804), and bear <03205> (8804) a son <01121>.
 - ANGELS - ANGEL MESSENGER
4 Now therefore beware <08104> (8734), I pray thee, and drink <08354> (8799) not wine <03196> nor strong drink <07941>, and eat <0398> (8799) not any unclean <02931> thing:
5 For, lo, thou shalt conceive <02030>, and bear <03205> (8802) a son <01121>; and no razor <04177> shall come <05927> (8799) on his head <07218>: for the child <05288> shall be a Nazarite <05139> unto God <0430> from the womb <0990> : and he shall begin <02490> (8686) to deliver <03467> (8687) Israel <03478> out of the hand <03027> of the Philistines <06430>.
6 Then the woman <0802> came <0935> (8799) and told <0559> (8799) her husband <0376>, saying <0559> (8800), A man <0376> of God <0430> came <0935> (8804) unto me, and his countenance <04758> was like the countenance <04758> of an angel <04397> of God <0430>, very <03966> terrible <03372> (8737): but I asked <07592> (8804) him not whence he was, neither told <05046> (8689) he me his name <08034>:

7 But he said <0559> (8799) unto me, Behold, thou shalt conceive <02030>, and bear <03205> (8802) a son <01121> ; and now drink <07941> no wine <03196> nor strong drink <08354> (8799), neither eat <0398> (8799) any unclean <02932> thing: for the child <05288> shall be a Nazarite <05139> to God <0430> from the womb <0990> to the day <03117> of his death <04194>.
8 # Then Manoah <04495> intreated <06279> (8799) the LORD <03068>, and said <0559> (8799), O <0994> my Lord <0136>, let <04994> the man <0376> of God <0430> which thou didst send <07971> (8804) come again <0935> (8799) unto us, and teach <03384> (8686) us what we shall do <06213> (8799) unto the child <05288> that shall be born <03205> (8795).
9 And God <0430> hearkened <08085> (8799) to the voice <06963> of Manoah <04495>; and the angel <04397> of God <0430> came again <0935> (8799) unto the woman <0802> as she sat <03427> (8802) in the field <07704>: but Manoah <04495> her husband <0376> was not with her.
10 And the woman <0802> made haste <04116> (8762), and ran <07323> (8799), and shewed <05046> (8686) her husband <0376>, and said <0559> (8799) unto him, Behold, the man <0376> hath appeared <07200> (8738) unto me, that came <0935> (8804) unto me the other day <03117>.
11 And Manoah <04495> arose <06965> (8799), and went <03212> (8799) after <0310> his wife <0802> , and came <0935> (8799) to the man <0376>, and said <0559> (8799) unto him, Art thou the man <0376> that spakest <01696> (8765) unto the woman <0802>? And he said <0559> (8799), I am.
12 And Manoah <04495> said <0559> (8799), Now let thy words <01697> come to pass <0935> (8799). How shall we order <04941> the child <05288>, and how shall we do <04639> unto him?
13 And the angel <04397> of the LORD <03068> said <0559> (8799) unto Manoah <04495>, Of all that I said <0559> (8804) unto the woman <0802> let her beware <08104> (8735).
14 She may not eat <0398> (8799) of any thing that cometh <03318> (8799) of the vine <01612>, neither let her drink <08354> (8799) wine <03196> or strong drink <07941>, nor eat <0398> (8799) any unclean <02932> thing : all that I commanded <06680> (8765) her let her observe <08104> (8799).
15 # And Manoah <04495> said <0559> (8799) unto the angel <04397> of the LORD <03068>, I pray thee, let us detain <06113> (8799) thee, until we shall have made ready <06213> (8799) a kid <01423> <05795> for <06440> thee.
16 And the angel <04397> of the LORD <03068> said <0559> (8799) unto Manoah <04495>, Though thou detain <06113> (8799) me, I will not eat <0398> (8799) of thy bread <03899>: and if <0518> thou wilt offer <06213> (8799) a burnt offering <05930>, thou must offer <05927> (8686) it unto the LORD <03068>. For Manoah <04495> knew <03045> (8804) not that he was an angel <04397> of the LORD <03068>.
17 And Manoah <04495> said <0559> (8799) unto the angel <04397> of the LORD <03068>, What is thy name <08034>, that when thy sayings <01697> come to pass <0935> (8799) we may do thee honour <03513> (8765)?
18 And the angel <04397> of the LORD <03068> said <0559> (8799) unto him, Why askest <07592> (8799) thou thus after my name <08034>, seeing it is secret <06383> (8675) <06383>?

19 So Manoah <04495> took <03947> (8799) a kid <01423> <05795> with a meat offering <04503>, and offered <05927> (8799) it upon a rock <06697> unto the LORD <03068>: and the angel did <06213> (8800) wondrously <06381> (8688); and Manoah <04495> and his wife <0802> looked on <07200> (8802).
20 For it came to pass, when the flame <03851> went up <05927> (8800) toward heaven <08064> from off the altar <04196> , that the angel <04397> of the LORD <03068> ascended <05927> (8799) in the flame <03851> of the altar <04196>. And Manoah <04495> and his wife <0802> looked on <07200> (8802) it, and fell on <05307> (8799) their faces <06440> to the ground <0776>.
21 But the angel <04397> of the LORD <03068> did no more <03254> (8804) appear <07200> (8736) to Manoah <04495> and to his wife <0802>. Then Manoah <04495> knew <03045> (8804) that he was an angel <04397> of the LORD <03068>.
22 And Manoah <04495> said <0559> (8799) unto his wife <0802>, We shall surely <04191> (8800) die <04191> (8799), because we have seen <07200> (8804) God <0430>.
23 But his wife <0802> said <0559> (8799) unto him, If <03863> the LORD <03068> were pleased <02654> (8804) to kill <04191> (8687) us, he would not have received <03947> (8804) a burnt offering <05930> and a meat offering <04503> at our hands <03027>, neither would he have shewed <07200> (8689) us all these things, nor would as at this time <06256> have told <08085> (8689) us such things as these <02063>.
24 # And the woman <0802> bare <03205> (8799) a son <01121>, and called <07121> (8799) his name <08034> Samson <08123>: and the child <05288> grew <01431> (8799), and the LORD <03068> blessed <01288> (8762) him.
25 And the Spirit <07307> of the LORD <03068> began <02490> (8686) to move him at times <06470> (8800) in the camp <04264> of Dan <01835> between Zorah <06881> and Eshtaol <0847>.
