Judges 13:8-14

Then Manue prayed to the Lord, and said: I beseech thee, O Lord, that the man of God, whom thou didst send, may come again, and teach us what we ought to do concerning the child, that shall be born.

And the Lord heard the prayer of Manue, and the angel of the Lord appeared again to his wife, as she was sitting in the field. But Manue her husband was not with her. And when she saw the angel,

She made haste, and ran to her husband: and told him, saying: Behold the man hath appeared to me, whom I saw before.

He rose up, and followed his wife: and coming to the man, said to him: Art thou he that spoke to the woman? And he answered: I am.

And Manue said to him: When thy word shall come to pass, what wilt thou that the child should do? or from what shall he keep himself?

And the angel of the Lord said to Manue: From all the things I have spoken of to thy wife, let her refrain herself:

And let her eat nothing that cometh of the vine, neither let her drink wine or strong drink, nor eat any unclean thing: and whatsoever I have commanded her, let her fulfil and observe.
