- Again the Israelites did evil in the eyes of the LORD, so the LORD delivered them into the hands of the Philistines for forty years.
- A certain man of Zorah, named Manoah, from the clan of the Danites, had a wife who was sterile and remained childless.
- The angel of the LORD appeared to her and said, "You are sterile and childless, but you are going to conceive and have a son.
- Now see to it that you drink no wine or other fermented drink and that you do not eat anything unclean,
- because you will conceive and give birth to a son. No razor may be used on his head, because the boy is to be a Nazirite, set apart to God from birth, and he will begin the deliverance of Israel from the hands of the Philistines."
