Judges 13 :: Hebrew Names Version (HNV)

Jdg 13:1

Jdg 13:1The children of Yisra'el again did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD; and the LORD delivered them into the hand of the Pelishtim forty years.

Jdg 13:2

Jdg 13:2There was a certain man of Tzor`ah, of the family of the Dani, whose name was Manoach; and his wife was barren, and didn't bear.

Jdg 13:3

Jdg 13:3The angel of the LORD appeared to the woman, and said to her, See now, you are barren, and don't bear; but you shall conceive, and bear a son.

Jdg 13:4

Jdg 13:4Now therefore please beware and drink no wine nor strong drink, and don't eat any unclean thing:

Jdg 13:5

Jdg 13:5for, behold, you shall conceive, and bear a son; and no razor shall come on his head; for the child shall be a Nazir to God from the womb: and he shall begin to save Yisra'el out of the hand of the Pelishtim.

Jdg 13:6

Jdg 13:6Then the woman came and told her husband, saying, A man of God came to me, and his face was like the face of the angel of God, very awesome; and I didn't ask him whence he was, neither did he tell me his name:

Jdg 13:7

Jdg 13:7but he said to me, Behold, you shall conceive, and bear a son; and now drink no wine nor strong drink, and eat not any unclean thing; for the child shall be a Nazir to God from the womb to the day of his death.

Jdg 13:8

Jdg 13:8Then Manoach entreated the LORD, and said, Oh, Lord, please let the man of God whom you did send come again to us, and teach us what we shall do to the child who shall be born.

Jdg 13:9

Jdg 13:9God listened to the voice of Manoach; and the angel of God came again to the woman as she sat in the field: but Manoach, her husband, wasn't with her.

Jdg 13:10

Jdg 13:10The woman made haste, and ran, and told her husband, and said to him, Behold, the man has appeared to me, who came to me the other day.

Jdg 13:11

Jdg 13:11Manoach arose, and went after his wife, and came to the man, and said to him, Are you the man who spoke to the woman? He said, I am.

Jdg 13:12

Jdg 13:12Manoach said, Now let your words happen: what shall be the ordering of the child, and how shall we do to him?

Jdg 13:13

Jdg 13:13The angel of the LORD said to Manoach, Of all that I said to the woman let her beware.

Jdg 13:14

Jdg 13:14She may not eat of anything that comes of the vine, neither let her drink wine or strong drink, nor eat any unclean thing; all that I commanded her let her observe.

Jdg 13:15

Jdg 13:15Manoach said to the angel of the LORD, I pray you, let us detain you, that we may make ready a kid for you.

Jdg 13:16

Jdg 13:16The angel of the LORD said to Manoach, Though you detain me, I won't eat of your bread; and if you will make ready a burnt offering, you must offer it to the LORD. For Manoach didn't know that he was the angel of the LORD.

Jdg 13:17

Jdg 13:17Manoach said to the angel of the LORD, What is your name, that when your words happen, we may honor you?

Jdg 13:18

Jdg 13:18The angel of the LORD said to him, Why do you ask after my name, seeing it is wonderful?

Jdg 13:19

Jdg 13:19So Manoach took the kid with the meal-offering, and offered it on the rock to the LORD: and the angel did wondrously, and Manoach and his wife looked on.

Jdg 13:20

Jdg 13:20For it happened, when the flame went up toward the sky from off the altar, that the angel of the LORD ascended in the flame of the altar: and Manoach and his wife looked on; and they fell on their faces to the ground.

Jdg 13:21

Jdg 13:21But the angel of the LORD did no more appear to Manoach or to his wife. Then Manoach knew that he was the angel of the LORD.

Jdg 13:22

Jdg 13:22Manoach said to his wife, We shall surely die, because we have seen God.

Jdg 13:23

Jdg 13:23But his wife said to him, If the LORD were pleased to kill us, he wouldn't have received a burnt offering and a meal-offering at our hand, neither would he have shown us all these things, nor would at this time have told such things as these.

Jdg 13:24

Jdg 13:24The woman bore a son, and named him Shimshon: and the child grew, and the LORD blessed him.

Jdg 13:25

Jdg 13:25The Spirit of the LORD began to move him in Machane-Dan, between Tzor`ah and Eshta'ol.
