Then Mano'ah entreated the LORD, and said, "O, LORD, I pray thee, let the man of God whom thou didst send come again to us, and teach us what we are to do with the boy that will be born."
9
And God listened to the voice of Mano'ah, and the angel of God came again to the woman as she sat in the field; but Mano'ah her husband was not with her.
10
And the woman ran in haste and told her husband, "Behold, the man who came to me the other day has appeared to me."
11
And Mano'ah arose and went after his wife, and came to the man and said to him, "Are you the man who spoke to this woman?" And he said, "I am."
12
And Mano'ah said, "Now when your words come true, what is to be the boy's manner of life, and what is he to do?"
13
And the angel of the LORD said to Mano'ah, "Of all that I said to the woman let her beware.
14
She may not eat of anything that comes from the vine, neither let her drink wine or strong drink, or eat any unclean thing; all that I commanded her let her observe."
15
Mano'ah said to the angel of the LORD, "Pray, let us detain you, and prepare a kid for you."
16
And the angel of the LORD said to Mano'ah, "If you detain me, I will not eat of your food; but if you make ready a burnt offering, then offer it to the LORD." (For Mano'ah did not know that he was the angel of the LORD.)
17
And Mano'ah said to the angel of the LORD, "What is your name, so that, when your words come true, we may honor you?"
18
And the angel of the LORD said to him, "Why do you ask my name, seeing it is wonderful?"
