Judges 13:8-10

Samson's Birth Announced: Consecration Before Deliverance

Israel again does evil and is handed to the Philistines, but before Israel cries out the LORD announces a child from a barren womb, commands Nazirite consecration, reveals Himself through sacrifice, and begins to stir Samson by the Spirit as the one who will begin deliverance.

8Then Manoah prayed to the LORD, “Please, O Lord, let the man of God You sent us come to us again to teach us how to raise the boy who is to be born.”

9And God listened to the voice of Manoah, and the angel of God returned to the woman as she was sitting in the field; but her husband Manoah was not with her.

10The woman ran quickly to tell her husband, “Behold, the man who came to me the other day has reappeared!”
