Chapter 13

¹ And the children of Israel did evil again in the sight of the Lord: and he delivered them into the hands of the Philistines forty years.
² Now there was a certain man of Saraa, and of the race of Dan, whose name was Manue, and his wife was barren.
³ And an angel of the Lord appeared to her, and said: Thou art barren and without children: but thou shalt conceive and bear a son.
⁴ Now therefore beware and drink no wine nor strong drink, and eat not any unclean thing.
⁵ Because thou shalt conceive and bear a son, and no razor shall touch his head: for he shall be a Nazarite of God, from his infancy, and from his mother's womb, and he shall begin to deliver Israel from the hands of the Philistines.
⁶ And when she was come to her husband she said to him: A man of God came to me, having the countenance of an angel, very awful. And when I asked him who he was, and whence he came, and by what name he was called, he would not tell me.
⁷ But he answered thus: Behold thou shalt conceive and bear a son: beware thou drink no wine, nor strong drink, nor eat any unclean thing: for the child shall be a Nazarite of God from his infancy, from his mother's womb until the day of his death.
⁸ Then Manue prayed to the Lord, and said: I beseech thee, O Lord, that the mail of God, whom thou didst send, may come again, and teach us what we ought to do concerning the child that shall be born.
⁹ And the Lord heard the prayer of Manue, and the angel of the Lord appeared again to his wife as she was sitting in the field. But Manue her husband was not with her. And when she saw the angel,
¹⁰ She made haste and ran to her husband: and told him saying: Behold the man hath appeared to me whom I saw before.
¹¹ He rose up and followed his wife: and coming to the man, said to him: Art thou he that spoke to the woman? And he answered: I am.
¹² And Manue said to him: When thy word shall come to pass, what wilt thou that the child should do? or from what shall he keep himself?
¹³ And the angel of the Lord said to Manue: From all the things I have spoken of to thy wife, let her refrain herself:
¹⁴ And let her eat nothing that cometh of the vine, neither let her drink wine or strong drink, nor eat any unclean thing: and whatsoever I have commanded her, let her fulfil and observe.
¹⁵ And Manue said to the angel of the Lord: I beseech thee to consent to my request, and let us dress a kid for thee.
¹⁶ And the angel answered him: If thou press me, I will not eat of thy bread: but if thou wilt offer a holocaust, offer it to the Lord. And Manue knew not it was the angel of the Lord.
¹⁷ And he said to him: What is thy name, that, if thy word shall come to pass, we may honour thee?
¹⁸ And he answered him: Why askest thou my name, which is wonderful?
¹⁹ Then Manue took a kid of the flocks, and the libations, and put them upon a rock, offering to the Lord, who doth wonderful things: and he and his wife looked on.
²⁰ And when the flame from the altar went up towards heaven, the angel of the lord ascended also in the flame. And when Manue and his wife saw this, they fell flat on the ground.
²¹ And the angel of the Lord appeared to them no more. And forthwith Manue understood that it was an angel of the Lord,
²² And he said to his wife: We shall certainly die, because we have seen God.
²³ And his wife answered him: If the Lord had a mind to kill us, he would not have received a holocaust and libations at our hands, neither would he have shewed us all these things, nor have told us the things that are to come.
²⁴ And she bore a son, and called his name Samson. And the child grew, and the Lord blessed him.
²⁵ And the spirit of the Lord began to be with him in the camp of Dan, between Saraa and Esthaol.

Chapter 13

¹ 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.
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 bore not.
³ And the angel of the LORD appeared to the woman, and said to her, Behold, now, thou art barren, and bearest not: but thou shalt conceive, and bear a son.
⁴ Now therefore beware, I pray thee, and drink not wine, nor strong drink, and eat not any unclean thing:
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 to God from his birth: and he shall begin to deliver Israel from the hand of the Philistines.
⁶ Then the woman came and told her husband, saying, A man of God came to me, and his countenance was like the countenance of an angel of God, very terrible: but I asked him not whence he was, neither did he tell me his name:
⁷ But he said to 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 his birth to the day of his death.
⁸ Then Manoah entreated the LORD, and said, O my Lord, let the man of God, whom thou didst send come again to us, and teach us what we shall do to the child that shall be born.
⁹ And God hearkened 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 was not with her.
¹⁰ And the woman made haste, and ran, and showed her husband, and said to him, Behold, the man hath appeared to me, that came to me the other day.
¹¹ And Manoah arose, and went after his wife, and came to the man, and said to him, Art thou the man that didst speak to the woman? And he said, I am.
¹² And Manoah said, Now let thy words come to pass. How shall we order the child, and how shall we do to him?
¹³ And the angel of the LORD said to Manoah, Of all that I said to the woman, let her beware.
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.
¹⁵ And Manoah said to the angel of the LORD, I pray thee, let us detain thee, until we shall have made ready a kid for thee.
¹⁶ And the angel of the LORD said to Manoah, Though thou shouldst detain me, I will not eat of thy bread: and if thou wilt offer a burnt-offering, thou must offer it to the LORD. For Manoah knew not that he was an angel of the LORD.
¹⁷ And Manoah said to the angel of the LORD, What is thy name, that when thy sayings come to pass, we may do thee honor?
¹⁸ And the angel of the LORD said to him, why askest thou thus after my name, seeing it is secret?
¹⁹ So Manoah took a kid, with a meat-offering, and offered it upon a rock to the LORD; and the angel did wonderously, and Manoah and his wife looked on.
²⁰ For it came to pass, when the flame ascended towards 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.
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.
²² And Manoah said to his wife, We shall surely die, because we have seen God.
²³ But his wife said to 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.
²⁴ And the woman bore a son, and called his name Samson. And the child grew, and the LORD blessed him.
²⁵ And the Spirit of the LORD began to move him at times in the camp of Dan, between Zorah and Eshtaol.

¹⁵ And Manoah said to the Angel of Jehovah, I pray thee, let us detain thee, and we will make ready a kid of the goats for thee.
¹⁶ And the Angel of Jehovah said to Manoah, Though thou shouldest detain me, I will not eat of thy bread; and if thou wilt offer a burnt-offering, thou shalt offer it up to Jehovah. For Manoah knew not that he was the Angel of Jehovah.
¹⁷ And Manoah said to the Angel of Jehovah, What is thy name, that when thy word cometh to pass we may do thee honour?
¹⁸ And the Angel of Jehovah said to him, How is it that thou askest after my name, seeing it is wonderful?

Chapter 13

¹ And the children of Israel again did evil in the eyes of the Lord; and the Lord gave them into the hands of the Philistines for forty years.
² Now there was a certain man of Zorah of the family of the Danites, and his name was Manoah; and his wife had never given birth to a child.
³ And the angel of the Lord came to the woman, and said to her, See now! though you have never given birth to children, you will be with child and give birth to a son.
⁴ Now then take care to have no wine or strong drink and to take no unclean thing for food;
⁵ For you are with child and will give birth to a son; his hair is never to be cut, for the child is to be separate to God from his birth; and he will take up the work of freeing Israel from the hands of the Philistines.
⁶ Then the woman came in, and said to her husband, A man came to me, and his form was like the form of a god, causing great fear; I put no question to him about where he came from, and he did not give me his name;
⁷ But he said to me, You are with child and will give birth to a son; and now do not take any wine or strong drink or let anything unclean be your food; for the child will be separate to God from his birth to the day of his death.
⁸ Then Manoah made prayer to the Lord, and said, O Lord, let the man of God whom you sent come to us again and make clear to us what we are to do for the child who is to come.
⁹ And God gave ear to the voice of Manoah; and the angel of God came to the woman again when she was seated in the field; but her husband Manoah was not with her.
¹⁰ So the woman, running quickly, gave her husband the news, saying, I have seen the man who came to me the other day.
¹¹ And Manoah got up and went after his wife, and came up to the man and said to him, Are you the man who was talking to this woman? And he said, I am.
¹² And Manoah said, Now when your words come true, what is to be the rule for the child and what will be his work?
¹³ And the angel of the Lord said to Manoah, Let the woman take note of what I have said to her.
¹⁴ She is to have nothing which comes from the vine for her food, and let her take no wine or strong drink or anything which is unclean; let her take care to do all I have given her orders to do.
¹⁵ And Manoah said to the angel of the Lord, Now let us keep you while we make ready a young goat for you.
¹⁶ And the angel of the Lord said to Manoah, Though you keep me I will not take of your food; but if you will make a burned offering, let it be offered to the Lord. For it had not come into Manoah's mind that he was the angel of the Lord.
¹⁷ Then Manoah said to the angel of the Lord, What is your name, so that when your words come true we may give you honour?
¹⁸ But the angel of the Lord said to him, Why are you questioning me about my name, seeing that it is a wonder?
¹⁹ So Manoah took the young goat with its meal offering, offering it on the rock to the Lord, who did strange things.
²⁰ And when the flame went up to heaven from the altar, the angel of the Lord went up in the flame of the altar, while Manoah and his wife were looking on; and they went down on their faces to the earth.
²¹ But the angel of the Lord was seen no more by Manoah and his wife. Then it was clear to Manoah that he was the angel of the Lord.
²² And Manoah said to his wife, Death will certainly be our fate, for it is a god whom we have seen.
²³ But his wife said to him, If the Lord was purposing our death, he would not have taken our burned offering and our meal offering, or have given us such orders about the child.
²⁴ So the woman gave birth to a son, and gave him the name Samson; and he became a man and the blessing of the Lord was on him.
²⁵ And the spirit of the Lord first came on him in Mahaneh-dan, between Zorah and Eshtaol.
