Judges 13:6–11

⁶Then the woman came and told her husband, saying, “^aA man of God came to me and his appearance was like the appearance of the angel of God, very awesome. And I did not ask him where he came from, nor did he tell me his name.

⁷“But he said to me, ‘Behold, you shall conceive and give birth to a son, and now you shall not drink wine or strong drink nor eat any unclean thing, for the boy shall be a Nazirite to God from the womb to the day of his death.’ ”

⁸Then Manoah entreated the Lord and said, “O Lord, please let ^athe man of God whom You have sent come to us again that he may teach us what to do for the boy who is to be born.”

⁹God listened to the voice of Manoah; and ^athe angel of God came again to the woman as she was sitting in the field, but Manoah her husband was not with her.

¹⁰So the woman ran quickly and told her ¹husband, “Behold, ^athe man who ²came the other day has appeared to me.”

¹¹Then Manoah arose and followed his wife, and when he came to the man he said to him, “Are you ^athe man who spoke to the woman?” And he said, “I am.”
