8
Then Manoah intreated the L
ORD
, 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.
9
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.
10
And the woman made haste, and ran,
and shewed her husband, and said unto him, Behold, the man hath appeared unto me, that came
unto me the
other
day.
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.
12
And Manoah
said, Now let thy words come to pass. How shall we order the child, and
how
shall we do unto him?
13
And the angel of the L
ORD
said unto Manoah, Of all that I said unto 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 unto the angel of the L
ORD
, I pray thee, let us detain thee, until we shall
have made ready a kid for thee.
16
And the angel of the L
ORD
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
L
ORD
. For Manoah knew not that he
was
an angel of the L
ORD
.
17
And Manoah said unto the angel
of the L
ORD
, What
is
thy name, that when thy sayings come to pass we may do thee honour?
18
And
the angel of the L
ORD
said unto 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 unto the L
ORD
: and
the angel
did wonderously; and Manoah and his wife looked on.
20
For it came to pass, when the flame went
up toward heaven from off the altar, that the angel of the L
ORD
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
L
ORD
did no more appear to Manoah and to his wife. Then Manoah knew that he
was
an angel of
the L
ORD
.
22
And Manoah said unto his wife, We shall surely die, because we have seen God.
23
But
his wife said unto him, If the L
ORD
were pleased to kill us, he would not have received a burnt
offering and a meat offering at our hands, neither would he have shewed us all these
things,
nor
would as at this time have told us
such things
as these.
24
And the woman bare a son, and called his name Samson: and the child grew, and the L
ORD
blessed him.
25
And the Spirit of the L
ORD
began to move him at times in the camp of Dan between
Zorah and Eshtaol.
CHAPTER 14
And Samson went down to Timnath, and saw a woman in Timnath of the daughters of the Philistines.
2
And he came up, and told his father and his mother, and said, I have seen a woman in Timnath of
the daughters of the Philistines: now therefore get her for me to wife.
3
Then his father and his
mother said unto him,
Is there
never a woman among the daughters of thy brethren, or among all
my people, that thou goest to take a wife of the uncircumcised Philistines? And Samson said unto
