Judges 1:12

1:12 Caleb said, “To the man who attacks and captures Kiriath Sepher I will give my daughter Acsah as a wife.”

Judges 13:2

13:2 There was a man named Manoah from Zorah, from the Danite tribe. His wife was infertile and childless. ¹ 

Judges 13:13

13:13 The Lord’s messenger told ²  Manoah, “Your wife should pay attention to everything I told her. ³

¹ tn Heb “and had not given birth.”

² tn Or “said to.”

³ tn Heb “To everything I said to the woman she should pay attention.” The Hebrew word order emphasizes “to everything,” probably because Manoah’s wife did not tell her husband everything the angel had said to her (cf. vv. 3-5 with v. 7). If she had, Manoah probably would not have been so confused about the child’s mission.
