Judges 13:9-22

⁹And the Lord heard Manoah praying; and the angel of the Lord appeared again to his wife sitting in the field; forsooth Manoah, her husband, was not with her.

¹⁰And when she had seen the angel, she hasted, and ran to her husband, and told to him, and said, Lo! the man whom I saw before, (hath) appeared to me (again).

¹¹Which rose (or And he arose), and followed his wife; and he came to the man, and said to him, Art thou he, that hast spoken to the woman? And he answered, I am.

¹²To whom Manoah said, When thy word shall be fulfilled, what wilt thou, that the child do, either from what thing shall he keep himself? (or and from what things should he keep himself?)

¹³And the angel of the Lord said to Manoah, Abstain he himself from all things which I spake to thy wife. (And the angel of the Lord said to Manoah, Thy wife should abstain from all the things which I spoke to her about.)

¹⁴And eat he not whatever thing cometh forth of the vine, drink he not wine, and cider, eat he not any unclean thing, and fulfill he; and keep that, that I commanded to him. (She should not eat anything that cometh forth from the vine, nor should she drink wine, or cider, or eat any unclean thing; she must fulfill, and obey what I have commanded to her.)

¹⁵Therefore Manoah said to the angel of the Lord, I beseech, that thou assent to my prayers, and we array to thee, that is, make ready to meat, a kid of the goats. (And then Manoah said to the angel of the Lord, I beseech thee, that thou assent to my prayers, and let us prepare a meal for thee, yea, a goat kid.)

¹⁶To whom the angel of the Lord answered, Though thou (shalt) constrain me, I shall not eat thy bread; but if thou wilt make (a) burnt sacrifice, offer thou it to the Lord. And Manoah knew not, that it was an angel of the Lord, (or For Manoah did not know, that he was an angel of the Lord).

¹⁷And Manoah said to him, What name is to thee, that if thy word be fulfilled, we (can) honour thee?

¹⁸To whom he answered, Why askest thou my name, which is hid, either unknown?

¹⁹Therefore Manoah took a goat kid, and flowing sacrifices (or and the proper grain offering), and he put (them) upon a stone, and he offered them to the Lord that doeth wonderful things. And he and his wife beheld.

²⁰And when the flame of the altar ascended into heaven, the angel of the Lord ascended together in the flame (or the angel of the Lord went up in the flame). And when Manoah and his wife had seen this, they felled low to the earth.

²¹And the angel of the Lord appeared no more to them. And anon (or at once) Manoah understood, that he was the angel of the Lord.

²²And he said to his wife, We shall die by death, for we have seen the Lord.
