Judges 13:9-16 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

9. And God listened to the voice of Manoah, and an angel of God came again to the woman; she was sitting in the field, but Manoah her husband was not with her.

10. The woman quickly ran and told her husband, and she said to him, “Look! The man who came to me the other day appeared to me.”

11. So Manoah got up and went after his wife, and he came to the man and said to him, “Are you the man that spoke to the woman?” And he said, “I am.”

12. And Manoah said to him, “Now when your words come true, what will be the boy’s manner of life and work?”

13. And the angel of Yahweh said to Manoah, “Let the woman be attentive to all that I said.

14. She should not eat of anything that comes from the vine, or drink wine or strong drink, or eat anything unclean; she should keep all that I commanded.”

15. And Manoah said to the angel of Yahweh, “Please stay, and let us prepare a young goat for you.”

16. The angel of Yahweh said to Manoah, “If you keep me, I will not eat your food, but if you prepare a burnt offering for Yahweh, you can offer it (for Manoah did not know that he was an angel of Yahweh).”
