Manoah Requests Further Instruction
Judges 13:8-14
8
Then Manoach prayed to ADONAI, "Please, Adonai, let the man of God you sent come again to us and teach us what we should do for the child who will be born."
9
God paid attention to what Manoach said, and the angel of God came again to the woman as she sat in the field, but her husband Manoach wasn't with her.
10
The woman hurried and ran to tell her husband, "Here! That man, the one who came to me the other day, he's come again!"
11
Manoach got up, followed his wife, went to the man and said to him, "Are you the man who spoke to the woman?" He answered, "I am."
12
Manoach asked, "Now, when what you said comes true, what are the guidelines for raising the child? What should be done for him?"
13
The angel of ADONAI said to Manoach, "The woman should take care to do everything I said to her.
14
She shouldn't eat anything that comes from a grapevine, she shouldn't drink wine or other intoxicating liquor, and she shouldn't eat anything unclean. She should do everything I ordered her to do."
