1	And the children of Israel did# evil again# in the sight of the LORD; and the LORD delivered# them into the hand of the Philistines forty years. [did evil...: Heb. added to commit, etc]
			2	And there was a certain man of Zorah, of the family of the Danites, whose name was Manoah; and his wife was barren, and bare# not.
			3	And the angel of the LORD appeared# unto the woman, and said# unto her, Behold now, thou art barren, and bearest# not: but thou shalt conceive# , and bear# a son.
			4	Now therefore beware# , I pray thee, and drink# not wine nor strong drink, and eat# not any unclean thing :
			5	For, lo, thou shalt conceive, and bear# a son; and no razor shall come# on his head: for the child shall be a Nazarite unto God from the womb: and he shall begin# to deliver# Israel out of the hand of the Philistines.
			6	Then the woman came# and told# her husband, saying# , A man of God came# unto me, and his countenance was like the countenance of an angel of God, very terrible# : but I asked# him not whence he was , neither told# he me his name:
			7	But he said# unto me, Behold, thou shalt conceive, and bear# a son; and now drink no wine nor strong drink# , neither eat# any unclean thing : for the child shall be a Nazarite to God from the womb to the day of his death.
			8	Then Manoah intreated# the LORD, and said# , O my Lord, let the man of God which 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 shewed# her husband, and said# unto him, Behold, the man hath appeared# unto me, that came# unto me the other day.
			11	And Manoah arose# , and went# after his wife, and came# to the man, and said# unto him, Art thou the man that spakest# unto the woman? And he said# , I am .
			12	And Manoah said# , Now let thy words come to pass# . How shall we order the child, and how shall we do unto him? [How shall we order...: Heb. What shall be the manner of the, etc] [how shall we do...: or, what shall he do?: Heb. what shall be his work?]
			13	And the angel of the LORD said# unto Manoah, Of all that I said# unto the woman let her beware# .
			14	She may not eat# of any thing that cometh# of the vine, neither let her drink# wine or strong drink, nor eat# any unclean thing : all that I commanded# her let her observe# .
			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. [for thee: Heb. before thee]
			16	And the angel of the LORD said# unto Manoah, Though thou detain# me, I will not eat# of thy bread: and if thou wilt offer# a burnt offering, thou must offer# it unto the LORD. For Manoah knew# not that he was an angel of the LORD.
			17	And Manoah said# unto the angel of the LORD, What is thy name, that when thy sayings come to pass# we may do thee honour# ?
			18	And the angel of the LORD said# unto him, Why askest# thou thus after my name, seeing it is secret# # ? [secret: or, wonderful]
			19	So Manoah took# a kid# with a meat offering, and offered# it upon a rock unto the LORD: and the angel did# wondrously# ; and Manoah and his wife looked on# .
			20	For it came to pass, when the flame went up# toward heaven from off the altar, that the angel of the LORD ascended# in the flame of the altar. And Manoah and his wife looked on# it , and fell on# their faces to the ground.
			21	But the angel of the LORD did no more# appear# to Manoah and to his wife. Then Manoah knew# that he was an angel of the LORD.
			22	And Manoah said# unto his wife, We shall surely# die# , because we have seen# God.
			23	But his wife said# unto him, If the LORD were pleased# to kill# us, he would not have received# a burnt offering and a meat offering at our hands, neither would he have shewed# us all these things , nor would as at this time have told# us such things as these.
			24	And the woman bare# a son, and called# his name Samson: and the child grew# , and the LORD blessed# him.
			25	And the Spirit of the LORD began# to move him at times# in the camp of Dan between Zorah and Eshtaol. [the camp...: Heb. Mahanehdan]
