1 - 12 Again
the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the LORD, and the
LORD delivered them into the hand of the Philistines for forty years.
Now there was a certain man from Zorah, of the family of the Danites,
whose name was Manoah; and his wife was barren and had no children.
And the Angel of the LORD appeared to the woman and said to her,
"Indeed now, you are barren and have borne no children, but
you shall conceive and bear a son. "Now therefore, please be
careful not to drink wine or similar drink, and not to eat anything
unclean. "For behold, you shall conceive and bear a son. And
no razor shall come upon his head, for the child shall be a Nazirite
to God from the womb; and he shall begin to deliver Israel out of
the hand of the Philistines." So the woman came and told her
husband, saying, "A Man of God came to me, and His countenance
was like the countenance of the Angel of God, very awesome; but
I did not ask Him where He was from, and He did not tell me His
name. "And He said to me, 'Behold, you shall conceive and bear
a son. Now drink no wine or similar drink, nor eat anything unclean,
for the child shall be a Nazirite to God from the womb to the day
of his death.'" Then Manoah prayed to the LORD, and said, "O
my Lord, please let the Man of God whom You sent come to us again
and teach us what we shall do for the child who will be born."
And God listened to the voice of Manoah, and the Angel of God came
to the woman again as she was sitting in the field; but Manoah her
husband was not with her. Then the woman ran in haste and told her
husband, and said to him, "Look, the Man who came to me the
other day has just now appeared to me!" So Manoah arose and
followed his wife. When he came to the Man, he said to Him, "Are
You the Man who spoke to this woman?" And He said, "I
am." Manoah said, "Now let Your words come to pass! What
will be the boy's rule of life, and his work?" QUESTIONS
