2And there was one man from Tsada, from the tribe of Dan, and his name was MeNoah, and his wife was a barren woman and had not borne a child 3And The Angel of LORD JEHOVAH appeared to this woman, and he said to her: “Behold, you are barren and have not borne a child; now you shall conceive and you shall bear a son 4Beware that you shall not drink wine or liquor and you shall not eat anything that is defiled 5For, behold, you are pregnant and you shall give birth to a son, and a razor shall not go up on his head, because the boy shall be a Nazirah of God from the womb, and he shall begin to save Israel from the hand of the Philistines” 6And the woman came and she said to her husband: “A man of God came to me and appeared to me with the appearance of an Angel of God, and I was greatly shaken, and I did not ask him from where he was, and he did not tell me his name 7And he said to me: ‘Behold you are pregnant and you shall give birth to a son, therefore you shall not drink wine or liquor and you shall not eat anything defiled, because the boy shall be a Nazirah of God from the womb until the day that he dies’”

8And MaNoah begged of LORD JEHOVAH and said: “I beg you, LORD JEHOVAH, the man of God whom you sent, let him come again to us and let him teach us what we shall do to the boy who will be born!” 9And LORD JEHOVAH listened to the voice of MaNoah, and The Angel of LORD JEHOVAH came again to the woman, and she was sitting in a field and MaNoah her husband was not with her 10And the woman hurried and she ran and she showed her husband, and said to him: “Behold, the man who came on that day to me has appeared to me!” 11And MaNoah arose and he went with his wife and came to the man and said to him: “Are you the man who has spoken with this woman?” 12And he said: “I am”; and MaNoah said: “Behold, it is your word. Tell me, what is the judgment of the boy and his works?” 13And The Angel of LORD JEHOVAH said to MaNoah: ‘To everything that I said to the woman she shall pay attention 14Of anything that proceeds from a vine she shall not eat, and wine and strong drink she shall not drink, and anything that is defiled she shall not eat, and all that I commanded her she shall keep

15And MaNoah said to the Angel of LORD JEHOVAH: “Let us detain you and let us prepare you a kid of the goats before you” 16And The Angel of LORD JEHOVAH said to MaNoah: “If you will detain me, I will not eat of your bread, and if you will offer up a burnt offering to LORD JEHOVAH, you shall offer it up”, because MaNoah was not aware that he was The Angel of LORD JEHOVAH 17And MaNoah said to The Angel of LORD JEHOVAH: “What is your name, that whenever your word has been done, we shall call upon you?” 18And The Angel of LORD JEHOVAH said to him: “Why do you ask concerning my name which is glorious?” 19And MaNoah took a kid of the goats and fine wheat flour and offered them up on a rock to LORD JEHOVAH, and he was praising LORD JEHOVAH, and MaNoah and his wife were looking 20When flames of fire from the rock went up to Heaven, The Angel of LORD JEHOVAH also went up in a flame of the altar, and MaNoah and his wife saw, and they fell on their faces on the ground and they worshiped

21And The Angel of LORD JEHOVAH was no longer seen by MaNoah and his wife, and then MaNoah and his wife knew that he was The Angel of LORD JEHOVAH 22And Mahukh said to his wife: “We will surely die, for we have seen God!” 23And his wife said to him, “If God had desired to kill us, he would not have accepted a burnt offering and fine wheat flour from us, and he would not have shown us all these things at this time, and he would not have told us these things”

24And the woman bore a son and she called his name Shemshun (Samson), and the boy grew and LORD JEHOVAH blessed him 25And The Spirit of LORD JEHOVAH began his walking in the camp of Dan between Tsada and Eshtwayel
