9. God listened to the voice of Manoah, and the angel of God came again to the woman. She was sitting in the field; but her husband Manoah was not with her.
10. The woman hurried and ran to tell her husband, “The man who came to me the other day has appeared to me.”
11. So Manoah got up and went after his wife. He came to the man and said to him, “Are you the man who spoke to my wife?”He said, “I am.”
12. Then Manoah said, “Now may your words come true! What will be the boy’s way of life and his work?”
13. The angel of the Lord said to Manoah, “Your wife must observe everything that I said to her.
14. She must not consume anything that grows on the vine. She must not drink wine or strong drink, and she must not eat anything ritually unclean. She must observe everything that I commanded her.”
15. Manoah said to the angel of the Lord, “Please let us detain you, and let us prepare a young goat for you.”
16. The angel of the Lord said to Manoah, “If I stay, I will not eat your food, but if you want to make an offering to the Lord, you should offer it.” (For Manoah did not know that he was an angel of the Lord.)
17. Manoah said to the angel of the Lord, “What is your name, so that we can honor you when your words come true?”
