And|strong="H6965" he|strong="H1696" said|strong="H1696", I|strong="H6965" am.
12 And|strong="H4941" Manoah|strong="H4495" said|strong="H1697", Now|strong="H6258" let|strong="H6258" thy words|strong="H1697" come|strong="H1961" to|strong="H1961" pass|strong="H1961": what|strong="H4100" shall|strong="H5288" be|strong="H1961" the|strong="H1697" manner|strong="H4941" of|strong="H1697" the|strong="H1697" child|strong="H5288", and|strong="H4941" what shall be his|strong="H1961" work|strong="H4639"?
13 And|strong="H3068" the|strong="H3605" angel|strong="H4397" of|strong="H3068" the|strong="H3605" LORD|strong="H3068" said unto|strong="H3068" Manoah|strong="H4495", Of|strong="H3068" all|strong="H3605" that|strong="H3605" I|strong="H3068" said unto|strong="H3068" the|strong="H3605" woman let her|strong="H3605" beware|strong="H8104".
14 She|strong="H3808" may|strong="H3196" not|strong="H3808" eat of|strong="H3605" any|strong="H3605" thing|strong="H2932" that|strong="H3605" cometh|strong="H3318" of|strong="H3605" the|strong="H3605" vine|strong="H1612", neither|strong="H3808" let|strong="H3808" her|strong="H3605" drink|strong="H8354" wine|strong="H3196" or|strong="H3808" strong|strong="H7941" drink|strong="H8354", nor|strong="H3808" eat any|strong="H3605" unclean|strong="H2932" thing|strong="H2932"; all|strong="H3605" that|strong="H3605" I|strong="H6680" commanded|strong="H6680" her|strong="H3605" let|strong="H3808" her|strong="H3605" observe|strong="H8104".
15 And|strong="H3068" Manoah|strong="H4495" said unto|strong="H6213" the|strong="H6440" angel|strong="H4397" of|strong="H3068" the|strong="H6440" LORD|strong="H3068", I|strong="H6440" pray|strong="H4994" thee|strong="H6440", let|strong="H4994" us|strong="H4994" detain|strong="H6113" thee|strong="H6440", that|strong="H3068" we|strong="H3068" may|strong="H4994" make|strong="H6213" ready|strong="H6213" a|strong="H3068" kid|strong="H1423" for|strong="H6213" thee|strong="H6440".
16 And|strong="H3068" the|strong="H3588" angel|strong="H4397" of|strong="H3068" the|strong="H3588" LORD|strong="H3068" said unto|strong="H6213" Manoah|strong="H4495", Though|strong="H3588" thou|strong="H3045" detain|strong="H6113" me|strong="H6213", I|strong="H3588" will|strong="H3068" not|strong="H3808" eat|strong="H3899" of|strong="H3068" thy|strong="H3068" bread|strong="H3899": and|strong="H3068" if|strong="H3588" thou|strong="H3045" wilt make|strong="H6213" ready|strong="H6213" a|strong="H3068" burnt|strong="H5930" offering|strong="H5930", thou|strong="H3045" must|strong="H3808" offer|strong="H5927" it|strong="H1931" onto the|strong="H3588" LORD|strong="H3068". For|strong="H3588" Manoah|strong="H4495" knew|strong="H3045" not|strong="H3808" that|strong="H3588" he|strong="H1931" was|strong="H3068" the|strong="H3588" angel|strong="H4397" of|strong="H3068" the|strong="H3588" LORD|strong="H3068".
17 And|strong="H3068" Manoah|strong="H4495" said|strong="H1697" unto|strong="H3068" the|strong="H3588" angel|strong="H4397" of|strong="H3068" the|strong="H3588" LORD|strong="H3068", What|strong="H1697" is|strong="H3068" thy|strong="H3068" name|strong="H8034", that|strong="H3588" when|strong="H3588" thy|strong="H3068" words|strong="H1697" come to|strong="H3068" pass we|strong="H3068" may|strong="H3068" do|strong="H3068" thee honour|strong="H3513"?
18 And|strong="H3068" the|strong="H3068" angel|strong="H4397" of|strong="H3068" the|strong="H3068" LORD|strong="H3068" said unto|strong="H3068" him|strong="H1931", Wherefore|strong="H4100" askest|strong="H7592" thou|strong="H4100" after|strong="H8034" my|strong="H3068" name|strong="H8034", seeing it|strong="H1931" is|strong="H3068" wonderful|strong="H6383"?
19 So|strong="H6213" Manoah|strong="H4495" took|strong="H3947" the|strong="H5921" kid|strong="H1423" with|strong="H3068" the|strong="H5921" meal|strong="H4503" offering|strong="H4503", and|strong="H3068" offered|strong="H5927" it|strong="H5921" upon|strong="H5921" the|strong="H5921" rock|strong="H6697" unto|strong="H6213" the|strong="H5921" LORD|strong="H3068": and|strong="H3068" the angel did|strong="H6213" wondrously|strong="H6381", and|strong="H3068" Manoah|strong="H4495" and|strong="H3068" his|strong="H3068" wife looked|strong="H7200" on|strong="H5921".
20 For|strong="H5921" it|strong="H5921" came|strong="H1961" to|strong="H3068" pass|strong="H1961", when|strong="H1961" the|strong="H6440" flame|strong="H3851" went|strong="H5927" up|strong="H5927" toward|strong="H5921" heaven|strong="H8064" from|strong="H6440" off|strong="H5921" the|strong="H6440" altar|strong="H4196", that|strong="H7200" the|strong="H6440" angel|strong="H4397" of|strong="H3068" the|strong="H6440" LORD|strong="H3068" ascended|strong="H5927" in|strong="H5921" the|strong="H6440" flame|strong="H3851" of|strong="H3068" the|strong="H6440" altar|strong="H4196": and|strong="H3068" Manoah|strong="H4495" and|strong="H3068" his|strong="H3068" wife looked|strong="H7200" on|strong="H5921"; and|strong="H3068" they|strong="H3068" fell|strong="H5307" on|strong="H5921" their|strong="H3068" faces|strong="H6440" to|strong="H3068" the|strong="H6440" ground|strong="H6440".
21 But|strong="H3588" the|strong="H7200" angel|strong="H4397" of|strong="H3068" the|strong="H7200" LORD|strong="H3068" did|strong="H3068" no|strong="H3808" more|strong="H3254" appear|strong="H7200" to|strong="H3068" Manoah|strong="H4495" or|strong="H3808" to|strong="H3068" his|strong="H3068" wife. Then|strong="H3254" Manoah|strong="H4495" knew|strong="H3045" that|strong="H3588" he|strong="H1931" was|strong="H3068" the|strong="H7200" angel|strong="H4397" of|strong="H3068" the|strong="H7200" LORD|strong="H3068".
22 And|strong="H7200" Manoah|strong="H4495" said unto|strong="H7200" his|strong="H7200" wife, We|strong="H3588" shall|strong="H4191" surely|strong="H4191" die|strong="H4191", because|strong="H3588" we|strong="H3068" have|strong="H7200" seen|strong="H7200" God.
23 But|strong="H3808" his|strong="H3605" wife said|strong="H8085" unto|strong="H3068" him|strong="H3027", If|strong="H3863" the|strong="H3605" LORD|strong="H3068" were|strong="H3027" pleased|strong="H2654" to|strong="H4191" kill|strong="H4191" us|strong="H7200", he|strong="H3068" would|strong="H3068" not|strong="H3808" have|strong="H3068" received|strong="H3947" a|strong="H3068" burnt|strong="H5930" offering|strong="H4503" and|strong="H3068" a|strong="H3068" meal|strong="H4503" offering|strong="H4503" at|strong="H3068" our|strong="H3068" hand|strong="H3027", neither|strong="H3808" would|strong="H3068" he|strong="H3068" have|strong="H3068" shewed|strong="H7200" us|strong="H7200" all|strong="H3605" these|strong="H2063" things|strong="H3605", nor|strong="H3808" would|strong="H3068" at|strong="H3068" this|strong="H2063" time|strong="H6256" have|strong="H3068" told|strong="H8085" us|strong="H7200" such|strong="H2063" things|strong="H3605" as|strong="H3068" these|strong="H2063".
24 And|strong="H1121" the|strong="H3205" woman|strong="H3205" bare|strong="H3205" a|strong="H3068" son|strong="H1121", and|strong="H1121" called|strong="H7121" his|strong="H3068" name|strong="H8034" Samson|strong="H8123": and|strong="H1121" the|strong="H3205" child|strong="H5288" grew|strong="H1431", and|strong="H1121" the|strong="H3205" LORD|strong="H3068" blessed|strong="H1288" him|strong="H3205".
25 And|strong="H3068" the|strong="H3068" spirit|strong="H7307" of|strong="H3068" the|strong="H3068" LORD|strong="H3068" began|strong="H2490" to|strong="H3068" move him|strong="H3068" in|strong="H3068" Mahaneh-dan, between|strong="H7307" Zorah|strong="H6881" and|strong="H3068" Eshtaol.
