2: Now there wasH1961 manH0376 aH0259 from ZorahH6881 of the familyH4940 of the Danites,H1839 and whose name [was]H8034 Manoah-H4495 and his wife [was]H0802 barren,H6135 and noH3808 had children.H3205

3: And appearedH7200 the AngelH4397 of YahwehH3068 toH0413 the woman,H0802 and saidH0559 to herH0413 indeedH2009 now,H4994 youH0859 are barren,H6135 and no-H3808 have borne childrenH3205 but you shall conceive,H2029 and bearH3205 a son.H1121

6: So cameH0935 the womanH0802 and toldH0559 her husband,H0376 saying,H0559 a ManH0376 of GodH0430 cameH0935 to meH0413 and His countenance [was]H4758 like the countenanceH4758 of the AngelH4397 of God,H0430 awesome.H3372 VeryH3966 but notH3808 I did ask HimH7592 whereH0335 from this [place]H2088 He [was]H1931 andH0853 His name.H8034 NotH3808 He did tellH5046

7: And He saidH0559 behold,H2009 you shall become pregnant,H2029 and bearH3205 a son-H1121 nowH6258 noH0408 drinkH8354 wineH3196 or strong drink,H7941 norH0408 eatH0398 anythingH3605 uncleanH2932 forH3588 a NaziriteH5139 to GodH0430 shall beH1961 the childH5288 fromH4480 the wombH0990 toH5704 the dayH3117 of his death.H4194

8: AndH6279 ManoahH4495 prayed toH0413 Yahweh,H3068 and said,H0559 OH0994 my Lord,H0136 the ManH0376 of GodH0430 whomH0834 You sentH7971 comeH0935 please letH4994 againH5750 to usH0413 and teach usH3384 whatH4100 we shall doH6213 for the childH5288 who will be born.H3205

9: And listenedH8085 GodH0430 to the voiceH6963 of Manoah-H4495 and cameH0935 the AngelH4397 of GodH0430 againH5750 toH0413 the womanH0802 and as sheH1931 was sittingH3427 in the field,H7704 but Manoah [was]H4495 her husbandH0376 notH0369 with her.H5973

10: And in haste,H4116 the woman,H0376 and ran,H7323 and toldH5046 her husbandH0802 and saidH0559 to himH0413 Look,H2009 has just now appearedH7200 to meH0413 the ManH0376 whoH0834 cameH0935 the [other] dayH3117 to me.H0413

11: So arose,H6965 and followedH1980 ManoahH4495 afterH0310 his wife,H0802 and when he cameH0935 toH0413 the Man,H0376 and he saidH0559 Are YouH0859 the ManH0376 whoH0834 spokeH1696 toH0413 the woman?H0802 and He said,H0559 I [am].H0589

12: And said,H0559 ManoahH4495 nowH6258 let come [to pass].H0935 Your wordsH1697 whatH4100 will beH1961 rule of lifeH4941 of the boy,H5288 and his work.H4639

13: So saidH0559 the Angel ofH4397 YahwehH3069 toH0413 Manoah,H4495 of allH3605 thatH0834 I saidH0559 toH0413 the womanH0802 let her be careful.H8104

14: AnythingH3605 thatH0834 comesH3318 from the vine,H1612 wineH3196 notH3808 she may eatH0398 and wineH3196 nor may she drink,H7941 orH0408 [similar] drinkH8354 and anythingH3605 uncleanH2932 norH0408 eatH0398 allH3605 thatH0834 I commanded herH6680 let her observe.H8104

15: And saidH0559 ManoahH4495 toH0413 the AngelH4397 of Yahweh,H3068 let us detainH6113 please,H4994 YouH0853 and we will prepareH6213 for YouH6440 a young goatH1423 a young goat.H5795

16: And saidH0559 the AngelH4397 of YahwehH3068 toH0413 Manoah,H4495 ThoughH0518 you detain MeH6113 notH3808 I will eatH0398 of your food,H3899 but ifH0518 you offerH6213 a burnt offering,H5930 to Yahweh.H3068 You must offer itH5927 forH3588 notH3808 did knowH3045 ManoahH4495 that [was]H3588 the AngelH4397 Yahweh )H3068 He [was].H1931

17: And saidH0559 ManoahH4495 toH0413 the AngelH4397 of Yahweh,H3068 who [is]H4310 Your name,H8034 that whenH3588 come [to pass]H0935 Your wordH1697 and we may honor You?H3513

18: and saidH0559 the AngelH4397 of YahwehH3068 whyH4100 [is] thisH2088 do you askH7592 My name,H8034 and [seeing] it [is]H1931 wonderful?H6383

19: so tookH3947 ManoahH4495 -H0853 a young goatH1423 the young goatH5795 and withH0853 the grain offering,H4503 and offered itH5927 uponH5921 the rockH6697 to Yahweh,H3068 and a wondrous thing-H6381 He didH6213 and while ManoahH4495 and his wifeH0802 looked on.H7200

20: And it came to pass,H1961 as went upH5927 the flameH3851 fromH5921 the altar,H4196 toward heavenH8064 and ascendedH5927 the AngelH4397 of YahwehH3068 in the flameH3851 of the altar.H4196 And when ManoahH4495 and his wifeH0802 saw [this]H7200 and they fellH5307 onH5921 their facesH6440 to the ground.H0776

21: And when noH3808 moreH3254 againH5750 the AngelH4397 of YahwehH3068 appearedH7200 toH0413 ManoahH4495 andH0413 his wife.H0802 ThenH0227 knewH3045 ManoahH4495 thatH3588 the AngelH4397 of YahwehH3068 He [was].H1931

22: And saidH0559 ManoahH4495 toH0413 his wife,H0802 surelyH4191 we shall dieH4191 becauseH3588 GodH0430 we have seen.H7200

23: But saidH0559 his wifeH0802 ifH3863 had desiredH2654 YahwehH3068 to kill usH4191 notH3808 He would have acceptedH3947 from our hands,H3027 a burnt offeringH5930 and a grain offeringH4503 norH3808 would He have shown usH7200 -H0853 allH3605 these [things]H0428 and at this timeH6256 norH3808 would He have told us [such things]H8085 as this.H2063

24: So boreH3205 the womanH0802 a son,H1121 and calledH7121 -H0853 his nameH8034 Samson-H8123 and grew,H1431 the childH5288 and blessed himH1288 Yahweh.H3068

25: And beganH2490 the SpiritH7307 of YahwehH3068 to move upon himH6470 at MahanehH4264 DanH1835 betweenH0996 ZorahH6881 andH0996 Eshtaol.H0847
