Judges 13:1-25

13:1
And the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>
did
<06213> (8800)
evil
<07451>
again
<03254> (8686)
in the sight
<05869>
of the LORD
<03068>_;
and the LORD
<03068>
delivered
<05414> (8799)
them into the hand
<03027>
of the Philistines
<06430>
forty
<0705>
years
<08141>_.
{did evil...: Heb. added to commit, etc}
13:2
And there was a certain
<0259>
man
<0376>
of Zorah
<06881>_,
of the family
<04940>
of the Danites
<01839>_,
whose name
<08034>
[was] Manoah
<04495>_;
and his wife
<0802>
[was] barren
<06135>_,
and bare
<03205> (8804)
not.
13:3
And the angel
<04397>
of the LORD
<03068>
appeared
<07200> (8735)
unto the woman
<0802>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)
unto her, Behold now, thou [art] barren
<06135>_,
and bearest
<03205> (8804)
not: but thou shalt conceive
<02029> (8804)_,
and bear
<03205> (8804)
a son
<01121>_.
13:4
Now therefore beware
<08104> (8734)_,
I pray thee, and drink
<08354> (8799)
not wine
<03196>
nor strong drink
<07941>_,
and eat
<0398> (8799)
not any unclean
<02931>
[thing]:
13:5
For, lo, thou shalt conceive
<02030>_,
and bear
<03205> (8802)
a son
<01121>_;
and no razor
<04177>
shall come
<05927> (8799)
on his head
<07218>_:
for the child
<05288>
shall be a Nazarite
<05139>
unto God
<0430>
from the womb
<0990>_:
and he shall begin
<02490> (8686)
to deliver
<03467> (8687)
Israel
<03478>
out of the hand
<03027>
of the Philistines
<06430>_.
13:6
Then the woman
<0802>
came
<0935> (8799)
and told
<0559> (8799)
her husband
<0376>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
A man
<0376>
of God
<0430>
came
<0935> (8804)
unto me, and his countenance
<04758>
[was] like the countenance
<04758>
of an angel
<04397>
of God
<0430>_,
very
<03966>
terrible
<03372> (8737)_:
but I asked
<07592> (8804)
him not whence he [was], neither told
<05046> (8689)
he me his name
<08034>_:
13:7
But he said
<0559> (8799)
unto me, Behold, thou shalt conceive
<02030>_,
and bear
<03205> (8802)
a son
<01121>_;
and now drink
<07941>
no wine
<03196>
nor strong drink
<08354> (8799)_,
neither eat
<0398> (8799)
any unclean
<02932>
[thing]: for the child
<05288>
shall be a Nazarite
<05139>
to God
<0430>
from the womb
<0990>
to the day
<03117>
of his death
<04194>_.
13:8
Then Manoah
<04495>
intreated
<06279> (8799)
the LORD
<03068>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
O
<0994>
my Lord
<0136>_,
let
<04994>
the man
<0376>
of God
<0430>
which thou didst send
<07971> (8804)
come again
<0935> (8799)
unto us, and teach
<03384> (8686)
us what we shall do
<06213> (8799)
unto the child
<05288>
that shall be born
<03205> (8795)_.
13:9
And God
<0430>
hearkened
<08085> (8799)
to the voice
<06963>
of Manoah
<04495>_;
and the angel
<04397>
of God
<0430>
came again
<0935> (8799)
unto the woman
<0802>
as she sat
<03427> (8802)
in the field
<07704>_:
but Manoah
<04495>
her husband
<0376>
[was] not with her.
13:10
And the woman
<0802>
made haste
<04116> (8762)_,
and ran
<07323> (8799)_,
and shewed
<05046> (8686)
her husband
<0376>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, Behold, the man
<0376>
hath appeared
<07200> (8738)
unto me, that came
<0935> (8804)
unto me the [other] day
<03117>_.
13:11
And Manoah
<04495>
arose
<06965> (8799)_,
and went
<03212> (8799)
after
<0310>
his wife
<0802>_,
and came
<0935> (8799)
to the man
<0376>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, [Art] thou the man
<0376>
that spakest
<01696> (8765)
unto the woman
<0802>_?
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
I [am].
13:12
And Manoah
<04495>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
Now let thy words
<01697>
come to pass
<0935> (8799)_.
How shall we order
<04941>
the child
<05288>_,
and [how] shall we do
<04639>
unto him? {How shall we order...: Heb. What shall be the manner of the, etc} {how shall we do...: or, what shall he do?: Heb. what shall be his work?}
13:13
And the angel
<04397>
of the LORD
<03068>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Manoah
<04495>_,
Of all that I said
<0559> (8804)
unto the woman
<0802>
let her beware
<08104> (8735)_.
13:14
She may not eat
<0398> (8799)
of any [thing] that cometh
<03318> (8799)
of the vine
<01612>_,
neither let her drink
<08354> (8799)
wine
<03196>
or strong drink
<07941>_,
nor eat
<0398> (8799)
any unclean
<02932>
[thing]: all that I commanded
<06680> (8765)
her let her observe
<08104> (8799)_.
13:15
And Manoah
<04495>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto the angel
<04397>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
I pray thee, let us detain
<06113> (8799)
thee, until we shall have made ready
<06213> (8799)
a kid
<01423> <05795>
for
<06440>
thee. {for thee: Heb. before thee}
13:16
And the angel
<04397>
of the LORD
<03068>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Manoah
<04495>_,
Though thou detain
<06113> (8799)
me, I will not eat
<0398> (8799)
of thy bread
<03899>_:
and if
<0518>
thou wilt offer
<06213> (8799)
a burnt offering
<05930>_,
thou must offer
<05927> (8686)
it unto the LORD
<03068>_.
For Manoah
<04495>
knew
<03045> (8804)
not that he [was] an angel
<04397>
of the LORD
<03068>_.
13:17
And Manoah
<04495>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto the angel
<04397>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
What [is] thy name
<08034>_,
that when thy sayings
<01697>
come to pass
<0935> (8799)
we may do thee honour
<03513> (8765)_?
13:18
And the angel
<04397>
of the LORD
<03068>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, Why askest
<07592> (8799)
thou thus after my name
<08034>_,
seeing it [is] secret
<06383> (8675) <06383>_?
{secret: or, wonderful}
13:19
So Manoah
<04495>
took
<03947> (8799)
a kid
<01423> <05795>
with a meat offering
<04503>_,
and offered
<05927> (8799)
[it] upon a rock
<06697>
unto the LORD
<03068>_:
and [the angel] did
<06213> (8800)
wondrously
<06381> (8688)_;
and Manoah
<04495>
and his wife
<0802>
looked on
<07200> (8802)_.
13:20
For it came to pass, when the flame
<03851>
went up
<05927> (8800)
toward heaven
<08064>
from off the altar
<04196>_,
that the angel
<04397>
of the LORD
<03068>
ascended
<05927> (8799)
in the flame
<03851>
of the altar
<04196>_.
And Manoah
<04495>
and his wife
<0802>
looked on
<07200> (8802)
[it], and fell on
<05307> (8799)
their faces
<06440>
to the ground
<0776>_.
13:21
But the angel
<04397>
of the LORD
<03068>
did no more
<03254> (8804)
appear
<07200> (8736)
to Manoah
<04495>
and to his wife
<0802>_.
Then Manoah
<04495>
knew
<03045> (8804)
that he [was] an angel
<04397>
of the LORD
<03068>_.
13:22
And Manoah
<04495>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto his wife
<0802>_,
We shall surely
<04191> (8800)
die
<04191> (8799)_,
because we have seen
<07200> (8804)
God
<0430>_.
13:23
But his wife
<0802>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, If
<03863>
the LORD
<03068>
were pleased
<02654> (8804)
to kill
<04191> (8687)
us, he would not have received
<03947> (8804)
a burnt offering
<05930>
and a meat offering
<04503>
at our hands
<03027>_,
neither would he have shewed
<07200> (8689)
us all these [things], nor would as at this time
<06256>
have told
<08085> (8689)
us [such things] as these
<02063>_.
13:24
And the woman
<0802>
bare
<03205> (8799)
a son
<01121>_,
and called
<07121> (8799)
his name
<08034>
Samson
<08123>_:
and the child
<05288>
grew
<01431> (8799)_,
and the LORD
<03068>
blessed
<01288> (8762)
him.
13:25
And the Spirit
<07307>
of the LORD
<03068>
began
<02490> (8686)
to move him at times
<06470> (8800)
in the camp
<04264>
of Dan
<01835>
between Zorah
<06881>
and Eshtaol
<0847>_.
{the camp...: Heb. Mahanehdan}
