07:013:011 And Manoah arose, and went after his wife,
and came to the
man,
and said unto him, Art thou the man that spakest unto
the
woman?
And he said, I am.
07:013:012 And Manoah said, Now let thy words come
to pass. How shall we
order
the child, and how shall we do unto him?
07:013:013 And the angel of the lord said unto
Manoah, Of all that I said
unto
the woman let her beware.
07:013:014 She may not eat of any thing that cometh
of the vine, neither
let
her drink wine or strong drink, nor eat any unclean
thing:
all
that I commanded her let her observe.
07:013:015 And Manoah said unto the angel of the lord,
I pray thee, let
us
detain thee, until we shall have made ready a kid for
thee.
07:013:016 And the angel of the lord said unto
Manoah, Though thou detain
me,
I will not eat of thy bread: and if thou wilt
offer a
burnt
offering, thou must offer it unto the lord.
For Manoah
knew
not that he was an angel of the lord.
07:013:017 And Manoah said unto the angel of the lord,
What is thy name,
that
when thy sayings come to pass we may do thee honour?
07:013:018 And the angel of the lord said unto
him, Why askest thou thus
after
my name, seeing it is secret?
07:013:019 So Manoah took a kid with a meat offering,
and offered it upon
a
rock unto the lord: and the angel did wonderously;
and
Manoah
and his wife looked on.
07:013:020 For it came to pass, when the flame went
up toward heaven from
off
the altar, that the angel of the lord ascended
in the
flame
of the altar. And Manoah and his wife looked on
it, and
fell
on their faces to the ground.
07:013:021 But the angel of the lord did no more
appear to Manoah and to
his
wife. Then Manoah knew that he was an angel of
the lord.
07:013:022 And Manoah said unto his wife, We shall
surely die, because we
have
seen God.
07:013:023 But his wife said unto him, If the lord
were pleased to kill
us,
he would not have received a burnt offering and a meat
offering
at our hands, neither would he have shewed us all
these
things, nor would as at this time have told us such
things
as these.
07:013:024 And the woman bare a son, and called his
name Samson: and the
child
grew, and the lord blessed him.
07:013:025 And the Spirit of the lord began to
move him at times in the
camp
of Dan between Zorah and Eshtaol.
07:014:001 And Samson went down to Timnath, and saw
a woman in Timnath of
the
daughters of the Philistines.
