| [1]And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 didH6213[H8800] evilH7451 againH3254[H8686] in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068; and the LORDH3068 deliveredH5414[H8799] them into the handH3027 of the PhilistinesH6430 fortyH705 yearsH8141. |
[1]And the children of Israel yet again committed iniquity before the Lord; and the Lord delivered them into the hand of the Phylistines forty years. |
| [2]And there was a certainH259 manH376 of ZorahH6881, of the familyH4940 of the DanitesH1839, whose nameH8034 was ManoahH4495; and his wifeH802 was barrenH6135, and bareH3205 notH8804. |
[2]And there was a man of Saraa, of the family of the kindred of Dan, and his name was Manoe, and his wife was barren, and bore not. |
| [3]And the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068 appearedH7200[H8735] unto the womanH802, and saidH559[H8799] unto her, Behold now, thou art barrenH6135, and bearestH3205[H8804] not: but thou shalt conceiveH2029[H8804], and bearH3205[H8804] a sonH1121. |
[3]And an angel of the Lord appeared to the woman, and said to her, Behold, thou art barren and hast not born; yet thou shalt conceive a son. |
| [4]Now therefore bewareH8104[H8734], I pray thee, and drinkH8354[H8799] not wineH3196 nor strong drinkH7941, and eatH398[H8799] not any unclean thingH2931: |
[4]And now be very cautious, and drink no wine nor strong drink, and eat no unclean thing; |
| [5]For, lo, thou shalt conceiveH2030, and bearH3205[H8802] a sonH1121; and no razorH4177 shall comeH5927[H8799] on his headH7218: for the childH5288 shall be a NazariteH5139 unto GodH430 from the wombH990: and he shall beginH2490[H8686] to deliverH3467[H8687] IsraelH3478 out of the handH3027 of the PhilistinesH6430. |
[5]for behold, thou art with child, and shalt bring forth a son; and there shall come no razor upon his head, for the child shall be a Nazarite to God from the womb; and he shall begin to save Israel from the hand of the Phylistines. |
| [6]Then the womanH802 cameH935[H8799] and toldH559[H8799] her husbandH376, sayingH559[H8800], A manH376 of GodH430 cameH935[H8804] unto me, and his countenanceH4758 was like the countenanceH4758 of an angelH4397 of GodH430, veryH3966 terribleH3372[H8737]: but I askedH7592[H8804] him not whence he was, neither toldH5046[H8689] he me his nameH8034: |
[6]And the woman went in, and spoke to her husband, saying, A man of God came to me, and his appearance was as of an angel of God, very dreadful; and I did not ask him whence he was, and he did not tell me his name. |
| [7]But he saidH559[H8799] unto me, Behold, thou shalt conceiveH2030, and bearH3205[H8802] a sonH1121; and now drinkH7941 no wineH3196 nor strong drinkH8354[H8799], neither eatH398[H8799] any uncleanH2932 thing: for the childH5288 shall be a NazariteH5139 to GodH430 from the wombH990 to the dayH3117 of his deathH4194. |
[7]And he said to me, Behold, thou art with child, and shalt bring forth a son; and now drink no wine nor strong drink, and eat no unclean thing; for the child shall be holy to God from the womb until the day of his death. |
| [8]Then ManoahH4495 intreatedH6279[H8799] the LORDH3068, and saidH559[H8799], OH994 my LordH136, letH4994 the manH376 of GodH430 which thou didst sendH7971[H8804] come againH935[H8799] unto us, and teachH3384[H8686] us what we shall doH6213[H8799] unto the childH5288 that shall be bornH3205.[H8795] |
[8]And Manoe prayed to the Lord and said, I pray thee, O Lord my lord, concerning the man of God whom thou sentest; let him now come to us once more, and teach us what we shall do to the child about to be born. |
| [9]And GodH430 hearkenedH8085[H8799] to the voiceH6963 of ManoahH4495; and the angelH4397 of GodH430 came againH935[H8799] unto the womanH802 as she satH3427[H8802] in the fieldH7704: but ManoahH4495 her husband was not with herH376. |
[9]And the Lord heard the voice of Manoe, and the angel of God came yet again to the woman; and she sat in the field, and Manoe her husband was not with her. |
| [10]And the womanH802 made hasteH4116[H8762], and ranH7323[H8799], and shewedH5046[H8686] her husbandH376, and saidH559[H8799] unto him, Behold, the manH376 hath appearedH7200[H8738] unto me, that cameH935[H8804] unto me the other dayH3117. |
[10]And the woman hasted, and ran, and brought word to her husband, and said to him, Behold the man who came in the other day to me has appeared to me. |
| [11]And ManoahH4495 aroseH6965[H8799], and wentH3212[H8799] afterH310 his wifeH802, and cameH935[H8799] to the manH376, and saidH559[H8799] unto him, Art thou the manH376 that spakestH1696[H8765] unto the womanH802? And he saidH559, I amH8799. |
[11]And Manoe arose and followed his wife, and came to the man, and said to him, Art thou the man that spoke to the woman? and the angel said, I am. |
| [12]And ManoahH4495 saidH559[H8799], Now let thy wordsH1697 come to passH935[H8799]. How shall we orderH4941 the childH5288, and how shall we do unto himH4639? |
[12]And Manoe said, Now shall thy word come to pass: what shall be the ordering of the child, and our dealings with him? |
| [13]And the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068 saidH559[H8799] unto ManoahH4495, Of all that I saidH559[H8804] unto the womanH802 let her bewareH8104.[H8735] |
[13]And the angel of the Lord said to Manoe, Of all things concerning which I spoke to the woman, she shall beware. |
| [14]She may not eatH398[H8799] of any thing that comethH3318[H8799] of the vineH1612, neither let her drinkH8354[H8799] wineH3196 or strong drinkH7941, nor eatH398[H8799] any uncleanH2932 thing: all that I commandedH6680[H8765] her let her observeH8104.[H8799] |
[14]She shall eat of nothing that comes of the vine yielding wine, and let her not drink wine or strong liquor, and let her not eat anything unclean: all things that I have charged her she shall observe. |
| [15]And ManoahH4495 saidH559[H8799] unto the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068, I pray thee, let us detainH6113[H8799] thee, until we shall have made readyH6213[H8799] a kidH1423[H5795] for theeH6440. |
[15]And Manoe said to the angel of the Lord, Let us detain thee here, and prepare before thee a kid of the goats. |
| [16]And the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068 saidH559[H8799] unto ManoahH4495, Though thou detainH6113[H8799] me, I will not eatH398[H8799] of thy breadH3899: and ifH518 thou wilt offerH6213[H8799] a burnt offeringH5930, thou must offerH5927[H8686] it unto the LORDH3068. For ManoahH4495 knewH3045[H8804] not that he was an angelH4397 of the LORDH3068. |
[16]And the angel of the Lord said to Manoe, If thou shouldest detain me, I will not eat of thy bread; and if thou wouldest offer a whole-burnt-offering, to the Lord thou shalt offer it: for Manoe knew not that he was an angel of the Lord. |
| [17]And ManoahH4495 saidH559[H8799] unto the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068, What is thy nameH8034, that when thy sayingsH1697 come to passH935[H8799] we may do thee honourH3513?[H8765] |
[17]And Manoe said to the angel of the Lord, What is thy name, that when thy word shall come to pass, we may glorify thee? |
| [18]And the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068 saidH559[H8799] unto him, Why askestH7592[H8799] thou thus after my nameH8034, seeing it is secretH6383[H8675]?[H6383] |
[18]And the angel of the Lord said to him, Why dost thou thus ask after my name; whereas it is wonderful? |
| [19]So ManoahH4495 tookH3947[H8799] a kidH1423[H5795] with a meat offeringH4503, and offeredH5927[H8799] it upon a rockH6697 unto the LORDH3068: and the angel didH6213[H8800] wondrouslyH6381[H8688]; and ManoahH4495 and his wifeH802 looked onH7200.[H8802] |
[19]And Manoe took a kid of the goats and its meat-offering, and offered it on the rock to the Lord; and the angel wrought a distinct work, and Manoe and his wife were looking on. |
| [20]For it came to pass, when the flameH3851 went upH5927[H8800] toward heavenH8064 from off the altarH4196, that the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068 ascendedH5927[H8799] in the flameH3851 of the altarH4196. And ManoahH4495 and his wifeH802 looked onH7200[H8802] it, and fell onH5307[H8799] their facesH6440 to the groundH776. |
[20]And it came to pass when the flame went up above the altar toward heaven, that the angel of the Lord went up in the flame; and Manoe and his wife were looking, and they fell upon their face to the earth. |
| [21]But the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068 did no moreH3254[H8804] appearH7200[H8736] to ManoahH4495 and to his wifeH802. Then ManoahH4495 knewH3045[H8804] that he was an angelH4397 of the LORDH3068. |
[21]And the angel appeared no more to Manoe and to his wife: then Manoe knew that this was an angel of the Lord. |
| [22]And ManoahH4495 saidH559[H8799] unto his wifeH802, We shall surelyH4191[H8800] dieH4191[H8799], because we have seenH7200[H8804] GodH430. |
[22]And Manoe said to his wife, We shall surely die, because we have seen God. |
| [23]But his wifeH802 saidH559[H8799] unto him, IfH3863 the LORDH3068 were pleasedH2654[H8804] to killH4191[H8687] us, he would not have receivedH3947[H8804] a burnt offeringH5930 and a meat offeringH4503 at our handsH3027, neither would he have shewedH7200[H8689] us all these things, nor would as at this timeH6256 have toldH8085[H8689] us such things as theseH2063. |
[23]But his wife said to him, If the Lord were pleased to slay us, he would not have received of our hand a whole-burnt-offering and a meat-offering; and he would not have shewn us all these things, neither would he have caused us to hear all these things as at this time. |
| [24]And the womanH802 bareH3205[H8799] a sonH1121, and calledH7121[H8799] his nameH8034 SamsonH8123: and the childH5288 grewH1431[H8799], and the LORDH3068 blessedH1288 himH8762. |
[24]And the woman brought forth a son, and she called his name Sampson; and the child grew, and the Lord blessed him. |
| [25]And the SpiritH7307 of the LORDH3068 beganH2490[H8686] to move him at timesH6470[H8800] in the campH4264 of DanH1835 between ZorahH6881 and EshtaolH847. |
[25]And the Spirit of the Lord began to go out with him in the camp of Dan, and between Saraa and Esthaol. |
