8
Then Manoah prayed unto the LORD and said, O my Lord, let the man of God whom thou didst send come again unto us and teach us what we shall do unto the child that shall be born.
9
And 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.
10
And the woman made haste and ran and told her husband and said unto him, Behold, the man that came unto me has appeared unto me today.
11
And Manoah arose and went after his wife and came to the man and said unto him,
Art thou the man that spoke unto this woman? And he said, I
am.
12
Then Manoah said, Now let thy word come to pass. How shall we order the child, and what shall he do?
13
And the angel of the LORD replied unto Manoah, Let the woman keep herself from all that I said.
14
She may not eat of any
thing that comes of the vine, neither let her drink wine or strong drink, nor eat any unclean
thing; all that I commanded her let her keep.
15
And 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.
16
And the angel of the LORD replied unto Manoah, Though thou detain me, I will not eat of thy bread, but if thou wilt offer a burnt offering, sacrifice it unto the LORD. For Manoah did not know that this
was the angel of the LORD.
17
And Manoah said unto the angel of the LORD, What
is thy name that when thy words come to pass we may honour thee?
18
And the angel of the LORD replied, Why dost thou ask for my name? It
is wonderful.
