Judges 13:13

Context
13:13 The Lord’s messenger told 1  Manoah, “Your wife should pay attention to everything I told her. 2 

Judges 16:1

Context
Samson’s Downfall

16:1 Samson went to Gaza. There he saw a prostitute and went in to have sex with her. 3 

1 tn Or “said to.”

2 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.

3 tn Heb “and he went in to her.” The idiom בּוֹא אֶל (bo’ ’el, “to go to”) often has sexual connotations.
