  • Judg 13:15-25 : 15 And Manoah{H4495} said{H559}{(H8799)} unto the angel{H4397} of the LORD{H3068}, I pray thee, let us detain{H6113}{(H8799)} thee, until we shall have made ready{H6213}{(H8799)} a kid{H1423}{H5795} for{H6440} thee. 16 And the angel{H4397} of the LORD{H3068} said{H559}{(H8799)} unto Manoah{H4495}, Though thou detain{H6113}{(H8799)} me, I will not eat{H398}{(H8799)} of thy bread{H3899}: and if{H518} thou wilt offer{H6213}{(H8799)} a burnt offering{H5930}, thou must offer{H5927}{(H8686)} it unto the LORD{H3068}. For Manoah{H4495} knew{H3045}{(H8804)} not that he was an angel{H4397} of the LORD{H3068}. 17 And Manoah{H4495} said{H559}{(H8799)} unto the angel{H4397} of the LORD{H3068}, What is thy name{H8034}, that when thy sayings{H1697} come to pass{H935}{(H8799)} we may do thee honour{H3513}{(H8765)}? 18 And the angel{H4397} of the LORD{H3068} said{H559}{(H8799)} unto him, Why askest{H7592}{(H8799)} thou thus after my name{H8034}, seeing it is secret{H6383}{(H8675)}{H6383}? 19 So Manoah{H4495} took{H3947}{(H8799)} a kid{H1423}{H5795} with a meat offering{H4503}, and offered{H5927}{(H8799)} it upon a rock{H6697} unto the LORD{H3068}: and the angel did{H6213}{(H8800)} wondrously{H6381}{(H8688)}; and Manoah{H4495} and his wife{H802} looked on{H7200}{(H8802)}. 20 For it came to pass, when the flame{H3851} went up{H5927}{(H8800)} toward heaven{H8064} from off the altar{H4196}, that the angel{H4397} of the LORD{H3068} ascended{H5927}{(H8799)} in the flame{H3851} of the altar{H4196}. And Manoah{H4495} and his wife{H802} looked on{H7200}{(H8802)} it, and fell on{H5307}{(H8799)} their faces{H6440} to the ground{H776}. 21 But the angel{H4397} of the LORD{H3068} did no more{H3254}{(H8804)} appear{H7200}{(H8736)} to Manoah{H4495} and to his wife{H802}. Then Manoah{H4495} knew{H3045}{(H8804)} that he was an angel{H4397} of the LORD{H3068}. 22 And Manoah{H4495} said{H559}{(H8799)} unto his wife{H802}, We shall surely{H4191}{(H8800)} die{H4191}{(H8799)}, because we have seen{H7200}{(H8804)} God{H430}. 23 But his wife{H802} said{H559}{(H8799)} unto him, If{H3863} the LORD{H3068} were pleased{H2654}{(H8804)} to kill{H4191}{(H8687)} us, he would not have received{H3947}{(H8804)} a burnt offering{H5930} and a meat offering{H4503} at our hands{H3027}, neither would he have shewed{H7200}{(H8689)} us all these things, nor would as at this time{H6256} have told{H8085}{(H8689)} us such things as these{H2063}. 24 And the woman{H802} bare{H3205}{(H8799)} a son{H1121}, and called{H7121}{(H8799)} his name{H8034} Samson{H8123}: and the child{H5288} grew{H1431}{(H8799)}, and the LORD{H3068} blessed{H1288}{(H8762)} him. 25 And the Spirit{H7307} of the LORD{H3068} began{H2490}{(H8686)} to move him at times{H6470}{(H8800)} in the camp{H4264} of Dan{H1835} between Zorah{H6881} and Eshtaol{H847}.
