His account is found in the Book of Judges, specifically in chapters 13 to 16. Manoah's life and actions provide insight into the faith and obedience expected of God's people during the period of the judges.<br><br><b>Biblical Account:</b> <br>Manoah was from the tribe of Dan and lived in the town of Zorah. He is introduced in <a href="/bsb/judges/13.htm">Judges 13</a>, where it is noted that his wife was barren. The narrative begins with the Israelites once again doing evil in the sight of the LORD, resulting in their oppression by the Philistines for forty years (<a href="/judges/13.htm">Judges 13:1</a>).<br><br><b>Divine Encounter:</b> <br>The turning point in Manoah's life occurs when the Angel of the LORD appears to his wife, announcing that she will bear a son who is to be a Nazirite from birth. This child, Samson, is destined to begin the deliverance of Israel from the Philistines (<a href="/judges/13-3.htm">Judges 13:3-5</a>). The Angel instructs her to abstain from wine, strong drink, and unclean food, emphasizing the Nazirite vow that Samson is to uphold.<br><br><b>Manoah's Response:</b> <br>Upon hearing his wife's account of the angelic visitation, Manoah prays to the LORD, seeking further guidance on how to raise the promised child. God answers his prayer, and the Angel of the LORD appears again to Manoah's wife. Manoah then meets the Angel and asks for instructions concerning the boy's future (<a href="/judges/13-8.htm">Judges 13:8-12</a>).<br><br><b>Sacrificial Offering:</b> <br>Manoah, not fully realizing the divine nature of the visitor, offers hospitality and wishes to prepare a meal. The Angel declines, instructing Manoah instead to offer a burnt offering to the LORD. Manoah complies, and as the flame blazes up from the altar, the Angel of the LORD ascends in the flame, revealing His true identity. Manoah and his wife fall on their faces, overwhelmed by the realization that they have seen God (<a href="/judges/13-15.htm">Judges 13:15-20</a>).<br><br><b>Faith and Fear:</b> <br>Manoah expresses fear, believing they will die because they have seen God. However, his wife reassures him, reasoning that the LORD would not have accepted their offering or revealed such things if He intended to kill them (<a href="/judges/13-22.htm">Judges 13:22-23</a>).<br><br><b>Father of Samson:</b> <br>Manoah's wife gives birth to Samson, and the child grows under the LORD's blessing. Manoah's role as Samson's father is crucial, as he raises him according to the divine instructions given by the Angel. Although the biblical text does not provide extensive details about Manoah's later life, his initial obedience and faith set the stage for Samson's judgeship (<a href="/judges/13-24.htm">Judges 13:24-25</a>).<br><br><b>Legacy:</b> <br>Manoah's account highlights themes of faith, obedience, and divine intervention. His interactions with the Angel of the LORD demonstrate a deep reverence for God and a willingness to seek His guidance. Manoah's life serves as a testament to the importance of parental responsibility in nurturing children according to God's will, especially in times of national distress and moral decline.<a name="hit" id="hit"></a><div class="vheading2">Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Manoah</span><p>rest; a present<a name="smi" id="smi"></a><div class="vheading2">Smith's Bible Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Manoah</span><p>(<i>rest</i>), the father of Samson; a Danite, native of the town of Zorah.

In the prediction of his son's birth and achievements, we see the Angel of the covenant, who appeared to Abraham, Gideon, etc., and who never slumbers nor sleeps, caring for his oppressed people. So, too, he appeared to Jacob, and would not tell his mysterious name, <a href="/genesis/32-29.htm">Genesis 32:29</a>; Jud 13:18; <a href="/isaiah/9-6.htm">Isaiah 9:6</a>; <a href="/luke/13-34.htm">Luke 13:34</a>. </p><a name="eas" id="eas"></a><div class="vheading2">Easton's Bible Dictionary</div>Rest, a Danite, the father of Samson (<a href="/judges/13-1.htm">Judges 13:1</a>-22, and 14:2-4). <a name="isb" id="isb"></a><div class="vheading2">International Standard Bible Encyclopedia</div><span class="encheading">MANOAH</span><p>ma-no'-a (manoach, "rest"): A man of Zorah and of the family of the Danites. Manoah was the father of Samson, and his life-story is but imperfectly told in the history of the conception, birth and early life of his son. No children had been born to Manoah and his wife, and the latter was considered barren (<a href="/judges/13-2.htm">Judges 13:2</a>). Finally it was revealed to her by an angel of the Lord that she would conceive and bear a child. She was cautioned against strong drink and "unclean" food, for her child was to be born and reared a Nazirite to the end that he might save Israel out of the hands of the Philistines (<a href="/judges/13-3.htm">Judges 13:3-5</a>). That Manoah was a devout man seems certain in view of the fact that, upon hearing of the angel's visit, he offered a prayer for the angel's return, in order that he and his wife might be instructed as to the proper care of the child to be born (<a href="/judges/13-8.htm">Judges 13:8</a>). The request was granted and the angel repeated the visit and the instructions (<a href="/judges/13-9.htm">Judges 13:9-13</a>). Manoah with true hospitality would have the guest remain and partake of food. The angel refused, but commanded a sacrifice unto Yahweh. When Manoah had prepared the sacrifice and lit it on the altar, the angel ascended in the flame from the altar and appeared no more (<a href="/judges/13-15.htm">Judges 13:15-21</a>). The child was born according to the promise and was named Samson. Manoah and his wife appear twice in the narrative of Samson's early life-once as they protestingly accompanied him to sue for the hand of a Philistine woman of Timnah in marriage, and again when they went with him to Timnab for the wedding.<br><br>Josephus richly embellishes this Scriptural narrative concerning Manoah, but offers no further light upon the occupation or character of Manoah. At the death of Samson, his brothers went down to Gaza and brought back the body and buried it by the side of Manoah in the family tomb near Zorah (<a href="/judges/16-31.htm">Judges 16:31</a>). In Samson Agonistes Milton gains dramatic effect by having Manoah survive Samson and in deep sorrow assist at his burial.<br><br>C. E.
