Manoah asks for guidance

8Then Manoah entreated Yahweh and said, “Please, Lord, let the man of God whom you sent come again to us and teach us what we should do for the boy who is to be born.”

9And God listened to the voice of Manoah, and the angel of God came again to the woman while she was sitting in the field, and Manoah her husband was not with her.

10So the woman hurried and ran and told her husband, and said to him, “Look, the man who came to me that day has appeared to me.”

11So Manoah arose and went after his wife, and came to the man and said to him, “Are you the man who spoke to the woman?” And he said, “I am.”

12Then Manoah said, “Now let your words come true. What will be the rule for the boy and for his work?”

13And the angel of Yahweh said to Manoah, “The woman must be careful to do everything that I said to her.”

14She must not eat anything that comes from the grapevine, and she must not drink wine or strong drink, and she must not eat anything unclean. She must keep all that I commanded her.
