Judges 13:1 - Forerunner Commentary

Judges 13:1

The Birth of Samson

1 Again the children of Israel ^adid evil in the sight of the Lord, and the Lord delivered them ^binto the hand of the Philistines for forty years.

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.”
