2 Now there was a certain man from aZorah, of the family of the Danites, whose name was Manoah; and his wife was barren and had no children.
3 And the aAngel of the Lord appeared to the woman and said to her, “Indeed now, you are barren and have borne no children, but you shall conceive and bear a son.
4 Now therefore, please be careful anot to drink wine or similar drink, and not to eat anything unclean.
5 For behold, you shall conceive and bear a son. And no arazor shall come upon his head, for the child shall be ba Nazirite to God from the womb; and he shall cbegin to deliver Israel out of the hand of the Philistines.”
6 So the woman came and told her husband, saying, a“A Man of God came to me, and His bcountenance was like the countenance of the Angel of God, very awesome; but I cdid not ask Him where He was from, and He did not tell me His name.
7 And He said to me, ‘Behold, you shall conceive and bear a son. Now drink no wine or similar drink, nor eat anything unclean, for the child shall be a Nazirite to God from the womb to the day of his death.’ ”
8 Then Manoah prayed to the Lord, and said, “O my Lord, please let the Man of God whom You sent come to us again and teach us what we shall do for the child who will be born.”
9 And God listened to the voice of Manoah, and the Angel of God came to the woman again as she was sitting in the field; but Manoah her husband was not with her.
