6
And the woman went in, and spoke to her husband, saying, A man of God came to me, and his appearance 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
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
And Manoe prayed to the Lord and said, I pray thee, O Lord my lord, 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 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 woman hasted, and ran, and brought word to her husband, and said to him, Behold the man who came in day to me has appeared to me.
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 .
12
And Manoe said, Now shall word come to pass: what shall be the ordering of the child, and our dealings with him?
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 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 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 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 an angel of the Lord.
