    9God listened to Manoah’s prayer, and the angel of God came again to the woman while she was sitting in the field. But her husband Manoah was not with her.

    10The woman hurried and ran to tell her husband, saying to him, "Behold, the man who came to me the other day has appeared to me again."

    11Manoah got up, followed his wife, and came to the man and said to him, "Are you the man who spoke to my wife?" And he said, "I am."

    12Then Manoah said, "Now, when your words come true, what will be the rules for the boy's life and work?"

    13The angel of the Lord said to Manoah, "The woman must obey everything I told her.

    14She must not eat anything that comes from the grapevine, nor drink wine or strong drink, nor eat anything unclean. She must do everything I commanded her."

    15Manoah said to the angel of the Lord, "Please stay here, and we will prepare a young goat for you."

    16The angel of the Lord said to Manoah, "Even if you detain me, I will not eat your food. But if you prepare a burnt offering, you must offer it to the Lord." (Manoah did not know he was an angel of the Lord.)

    17Manoah said to the angel of the Lord, "What is your name, so that we may honor you when your words come true?"

    18The angel of the Lord said to him, "Why do you ask my name? It is beyond understanding."

    19So Manoah took the young goat and the grain offering and offered them on a rock to the Lord, and He did a wondrous thing while Manoah and his wife watched.

    20When the flame rose from the altar toward heaven, the angel of the Lord ascended in the flame of the altar. Seeing this, Manoah and his wife fell facedown to the ground.

    21The angel of the Lord did not appear again to Manoah and his wife. Then Manoah realized that he was the angel of the Lord.

    22Manoah said to his wife, "We are sure to die, because we have seen God!"

    23But his wife said to him, "If the Lord had intended to kill us, He would not have accepted a burnt offering and a grain offering from our hands, nor shown us all these things, nor let us hear such things now."

    24The woman gave birth to a son and named him Samson. The boy grew, and the Lord blessed him.

    2There was a certain man from Zorah, from the family of the Danites, whose name was Manoah. His wife was barren and had no children.

    3The angel of the Lord appeared to the woman and said to her, "Behold, you are barren and have not had children, but you will conceive and give birth to a son."

    4Now therefore, be careful! Do not drink wine or strong drink, and do not eat anything unclean.

    5For you will conceive and give birth to a son, and no razor is to touch his head, because the boy will be a Nazirite, dedicated to God from birth. He will begin to rescue Israel from the power of the Philistines.

    6Then the woman went to her husband and told him, "A man of God came to me. His appearance was like that of an angel of God, very awe-inspiring. I did not ask him where he was from, and he did not tell me his name.

    7But he said to me, 'Behold, you will conceive and give birth to a son. Now, do not drink wine or strong drink, and do not eat anything unclean, for the boy will be a Nazirite to God from the womb until the day of his death.'
