07_JUD_13_01 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 .
07_JUD_13_02 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 .
07_JUD_13_03 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 .
07_JUD_13_04 now therefore Beware , I pray thee , And drink not wine nor strong drink , And eat not any unclean [ thing ] :
07_JUD_13_05 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 .
07_JUD_13_06 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 :
07_JUD_13_07 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 .
07_JUD_13_08 Then Manoah entreated 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 .
07_JUD_13_09 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 .
07_JUD_13_10 And the woman made haste , And ran , And showed her husband , And said unto him , behold , the man hath appeared unto me , that came unto me the [ other ] day .
07_JUD_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 ] .
07_JUD_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 ?
07_JUD_13_13 And the angel of the LORD said unto Manoah , of all that I said unto the woman let her Beware .
07_JUD_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 .
07_JUD_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 for thee .
07_JUD_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 .
07_JUD_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 ?
07_JUD_13_18 And the angel of the LORD said unto him , why askest thou thus after my name , seeing it [ Is ] secret ?
07_JUD_13_19 So Manoah took A kid with A meat offering , And offered [ it ] upon A rock unto the LORD : And [ the angel ] did wonderously ; And Manoah And his wife looked on .
07_JUD_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 .
07_JUD_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 .
07_JUD_13_22 And Manoah said unto his wife , we shall surely die , because we have seen God .
07_JUD_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 showed us all These [ things ] , nor would as at this time have told us [ such things ] as These .
07_JUD_13_24 And the woman bare A son , And called his name Samson : And the child grew , And the LORD blessed him .
07_JUD_13_25 And the spirit of the LORD began to move him at times in the camp of Dan between Zorah And Eshtaol .
