Chapter 13
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
bare
not.
3
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.
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
unto
God
from
the
womb:
and
he
shall
begin
to
deliver
Israel
out
of
the
hand
of
the
Philistines.
6
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:
7
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.
8
Then
Manoah
intreated
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.
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
Lord
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
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
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.
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?
18
And
the
angel
of
the
Lord
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
Lord:
and
the
angel
did
wondrously;
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
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
unto
his
wife,
We
shall
surely
die,
because
we
have
seen
God.
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
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
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.
