1 And the sons of Israel again did evil in the eyes of YHWH. And YHWH delivered them into the hand of the Philistines forty years. 2 And there was a certain man from Zorah of the family of the Danite, and his name was Manoah. And his wife was barren and she had not given birth. 3 And the angel of YHWH appeared to the woman and said to her, “Behold please, you are barren, and you have not borne children. You shall conceive and bear a son. 4 And now be careful, please, and do not drink wine or strong drink, and do not eat anything unclean. 5 For behold, you will conceive and bear a son. And a razor shall not come upon his head, for a Nazirite to God shall be the child from the womb, and he shall begin to deliver Israel out of the hand of the Philistines.” Judges 13:1-5, Berean Literal Bible.
