7. He said to me, ‘Behold, you will conceive and bear a son. So, drink no wine or strong drink, and eat nothing unclean, for the child will be a Nazirite to God from the womb to the day of his death.”
8. Then Manoah entreated Adonai and said, “My Lord, please let the man of God whom You have sent come to us again and teach us what we will do for the boy to be born.”
9. God listened to the voice of Manoah, and the angel of God came again to the woman as she was sitting in the field, but her husband Manoah was not with her.
10. So the woman ran quickly and told her husband, and said to him, “Look, the man that came to me the other day has appeared to me!”
11. So Manoah got up and followed his wife. When he came to the man, he asked him, “Are you the one who spoke to the woman?” “I am,” he said.
12. Then Manoah said, “Now may your words come about! What will be the child’s rule and his mission?”
13. The angel of Adonai said to Manoah, “Let the woman abstain from all that I mentioned to her.
14. She should not eat anything that comes from the grapevine, or drink wine or strong drink, or eat any unclean thing. She must observe all that I commanded her.”
15. Then Manoah said to the angel of Adonai, “Please, let us detain you so that we may prepare a young goat for you.”
16. But the angel of Adonai said to Manoah, “If you could detain me, I would not eat your food. But if you present a burnt offering, then offer it to Adonai.” For Manoah did not realize that he was the angel of Adonai.
17. Then Manoah asked the angel of Adonai, “What is your name, so that when your words come to pass we may honor you?”
