1 The people of Israel again did what the LORD considered evil. So the LORD handed them over to the Philistines for 40 years. 2 There was a man from Zorah named Manoah. Manoah was from the family of Dan. His wife was not able to have children. 3 The Messenger of the LORD appeared to her and said, |You've never been able to have a child, but now you will become pregnant and have a son. 4 Now you must be careful. Don't drink any wine or liquor or eat any unclean food. 5 You're going to become pregnant and have a son. You must never cut his hair because the boy will be a Nazirite dedicated to God from birth. He will begin to rescue Israel from the power of the Philistines.| Judges 13:1-5, God's Word Translation. Copyright © 1995 by God's Word to the Nations.
