22 And Manoah said to his wife, “We shall surely die, for we have seen God.”

23 But his wife said to him, “If the LORD had meant to kill us, he would not have accepted a burnt offering and a grain offering at our hands, or shown us all these things, or now announced to us such things as these.”

24 The woman bore a son, and named him Samson. The boy grew, and the LORD blessed him.

25 The spirit of the LORD began to stir him in Mahaneh-dan, between Zorah and Eshtaol.
