Judges 13
1And the children of Israel did evil again in the sight of the LORD; and the LORD delivered them into the hand of the Philistines forty years.
וַיֹּסִפוּ בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל לַעֲשֹׂות הָרַע בְּעֵינֵי יְהוָה וַיִּתְּנֵם יְהוָה בְּיַד־פְּלִשְׁתִּים אַרְבָּעִים שָׁנָה׃ (4100)

2And there was a certain man of Zorah, of the family of the Danites, whose name was Manoah; and his wife was barren, and bare not.
וַיְהִי אִישׁ אֶחָד מִצָּרְעָה מִמִּשְׁפַּחַת הַדָּנִי וּשְׁמֹו מָנֹוחַ וְאִשְׁתֹּו עֲקָרָה וְלֹא יָלָדָה׃ (3327)

3And the angel of the LORD appeared unto the woman, and said unto her, Behold now, thou art barren, and bearest not: but thou shalt conceive, and bear a son.
וַיֵּרָא מַלְאַךְ־יְהוָה אֶל־הָאִשָּׁה וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלֶיהָ הִנֵּה־נָא אַתְּ־עֲקָרָה וְלֹא יָלַדְתְּ וְהָרִית וְיָלַדְתְּ בֵּן׃ (3470)

5For, lo, thou shalt conceive, and bear a son; and no razor shall come on his head: for the child shall be a Nazarite unto God from the womb: and he shall begin to deliver Israel out of the hand of the Philistines.
כִּי הִנָּךְ הָרָה וְיֹלַדְתְּ בֵּן וּמֹורָה לֹא־יַעֲלֶה עַל־רֹאשֹׁו כִּי־נְזִיר אֱלֹהִים יִהְיֶה הַנַּעַר מִן־הַבָּטֶן וְהוּא יָחֵל לְהֹושִׁיעַ אֶת־יִשְׂרָאֵל מִיַּד פְּלִשְׁתִּים׃ (5064)

6Then the woman came and told her husband, saying, A man of God came unto me, and his countenance was like the countenance of an angel of God, very terrible: but I asked him not whence he was, neither told he me his name:
וַתָּבֹא הָאִשָּׁה וַתֹּאמֶר לְאִישָׁהּ לֵאמֹר אִישׁ הָאֱלֹהִים בָּא אֵלַי וּמַרְאֵהוּ כְּמַרְאֵה מַלְאַךְ הָאֱלֹהִים נֹורָא מְאֹד וְלֹא שְׁאִלְתִּיהוּ אֵי־מִזֶּה הוּא וְאֶת־שְׁמֹו לֹא־הִגִּיד לִי׃ (5148)

7But he said unto me, Behold, thou shalt conceive, and bear a son; and now drink no wine nor strong drink, neither eat any unclean thing: for the child shall be a Nazarite to God from the womb to the day of his death.
וַיֹּאמֶר לִי הִנָּךְ הָרָה וְיֹלַדְתְּ בֵּן וְעַתָּה אַל־תִּשְׁתִּי ׀ יַיִן וְשֵׁכָר וְאַל־תֹּאכְלִי כָּל־טֻמְאָה כִּי־נְזִיר אֱלֹהִים יִהְיֶה הַנַּעַר מִן־הַבֶּטֶן עַד־יֹום מֹותֹו׃ (5381)
8Then Manoah intreated the LORD, and said, O my Lord, let the man of God which thou didst send come again unto us, and teach us what we shall do unto the child that shall be born.
וַיֶּעְתַּר מָנֹוחַ אֶל־יְהוָה וַיֹּאמַר בִּי אֲדֹונָי אִישׁ הָאֱלֹהִים אֲשֶׁר שָׁלַחְתָּ יָבֹוא־נָא עֹוד אֵלֵינוּ וְיֹורֵנוּ מַה־נַּעֲשֶׂה לַנַּעַר הַיּוּלָּד׃ (4228)

9And God hearkened to the voice of Manoah; and the angel of God came again unto the woman as she sat in the field: but Manoah her husband was not with her.
וַיִּשְׁמַע הָאֱלֹהִים בְּקֹול מָנֹוחַ וַיָּבֹא מַלְאַךְ הָאֱלֹהִים עֹוד אֶל־הָאִשָּׁה וְהִיא יֹושֶׁבֶת בַּשָּׂדֶה וּמָנֹוחַ אִישָׁהּ אֵין עִמָּהּ׃ (3035)
10And the woman made haste, and ran, and shewed her husband, and said unto him, Behold, the man hath appeared unto me, that came unto me the other day.
וַתְּמַהֵר הָאִשָּׁה וַתָּרָץ וַתַּגֵּד לְאִישָׁהּ וַתֹּאמֶר אֵלָיו הִנֵּה נִרְאָה אֵלַי הָאִישׁ אֲשֶׁר־בָּא בַיֹּום אֵלָי׃ (4387)
11And 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.
וַיָּקָם וַיֵּלֶךְ מָנֹוחַ אַחֲרֵי אִשְׁתֹּו וַיָּבֹא אֶל־הָאִישׁ וַיֹּאמֶר לֹו הַאַתָּה הָאִישׁ אֲשֶׁר־דִּבַּרְתָּ אֶל־הָאִשָּׁה וַיֹּאמֶר אָנִי׃ (4405)
See also: Joshua 5:13
12And Manoah said, Now let thy words come to pass. How shall we order the child, and how shall we do unto him?
וַיֹּאמֶר מָנֹוחַ עַתָּה יָבֹא דְבָרֶיךָ מַה־יִּהְיֶה מִשְׁפַּט־הַנַּעַר וּמַעֲשֵׂהוּ׃ (2341)
13And the angel of the LORD said unto Manoah, Of all that I said unto the woman let her beware.
וַיֹּאמֶר מַלְאַךְ יְהוָה אֶל־מָנֹוחַ מִכֹּל אֲשֶׁר־אָמַרְתִּי אֶל־הָאִשָּׁה תִּשָּׁמֵר׃ (3033)
14She 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.
מִכֹּל אֲשֶׁר־יֵצֵא מִגֶּפֶן הַיַּיִן לֹא תֹאכַל וְיַיִן וְשֵׁכָר אַל־תֵּשְׁתְּ וְכָל־טֻמְאָה אַל־תֹּאכַל כֹּל אֲשֶׁר־צִוִּיתִיהָ תִּשְׁמֹר׃ (5760)

15And 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.
וַיֹּאמֶר מָנֹוחַ אֶל־מַלְאַךְ יְהוָה נַעְצְרָה־נָּא אֹותָךְ וְנַעֲשֶׂה לְפָנֶיךָ גְּדִי עִזִּים׃ (2167)

16And 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.
וַיֹּאמֶר מַלְאַךְ יְהוָה אֶל־מָנֹוחַ אִם־תַּעְצְרֵנִי לֹא־אֹכַל בְּלַחְמֶךָ וְאִם־תַּעֲשֶׂה עֹלָה לַיהוָה תַּעֲלֶנָּה כִּי לֹא־יָדַע מָנֹוחַ כִּי־מַלְאַךְ יְהוָה הוּא׃ (3498)

17And Manoah said unto the angel of the LORD, What is thy name, that when thy sayings come to pass we may do thee honour?
וַיֹּאמֶר מָנֹוחַ אֶל־מַלְאַךְ יְהוָה מִי שְׁמֶךָ כִּי־יָבֹא [דִבְרֵיךָ כ] (דְבָרְךָ ק) וְכִבַּדְנוּךָ׃ (1652)
18And the angel of the LORD said unto him, Why askest thou thus after my name, seeing it is secret?
וַיֹּאמֶר לֹו מַלְאַךְ יְהוָה לָמָּה זֶּה תִּשְׁאַל לִשְׁמִי וְהוּא־פֶלִאי׃ (1747)

19So 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.
וַיִּקַּח מָנֹוחַ אֶת־גְּדִי הָעִזִּים וְאֶת־הַמִּנְחָה וַיַּעַל עַל־הַצּוּר לַיהוָה וּמַפְלִא לַעֲשֹׂות וּמָנֹוחַ וְאִשְׁתֹּו רֹאִים׃ (3903)
20For 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.
וַיְהִי בַעֲלֹות הַלַּהַב מֵעַל הַמִּזְבֵּחַ הַשָּׁמַיְמָה וַיַּעַל מַלְאַךְ־יְהוָה בְּלַהַב הַמִּזְבֵּחַ וּמָנֹוחַ וְאִשְׁתֹּו רֹאִים וַיִּפְּלוּ עַל־פְּנֵיהֶם אָרְצָה׃ (3304)

21But 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.
וְלֹא־יָסַף עֹוד מַלְאַךְ יְהוָה לְהֵרָאֹה אֶל־מָנֹוחַ וְאֶל־אִשְׁתֹּו אָז יָדַע מָנֹוחַ כִּי־מַלְאַךְ יְהוָה הוּא׃ (1859)

23But 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.
וַתֹּאמֶר לֹו אִשְׁתֹּו לוּ חָפֵץ יְהוָה לַהֲמִיתֵנוּ לֹא־לָקַח מִיָּדֵנוּ עֹלָה וּמִנְחָה וְלֹא הֶרְאָנוּ אֶת־כָּל־אֵלֶּה וְכָעֵת לֹא הִשְׁמִיעָנוּ כָּזֹאת׃ (4886)
