and the LORD delivered them into the hand of the Philistines for forty years.<p> <span class="reftext"><a href="/parallel/judges/13-2.htm#aramaic"><b>2</b></a></span>And there was a certain man of Zedah, of the family of the Danites, whose name was Manoah; and his wife was barren, and never had children. <span class="reftext"><a href="/parallel/judges/13-3.htm#aramaic"><b>3</b></a></span>And the angel of the LORD appeared to the woman and said to her, Behold, you are barren, and have borne no children; but now you shall conceive, and bear a son. <span class="reftext"><a href="/parallel/judges/13-4.htm#aramaic"><b>4</b></a></span>Now therefore beware, lest you drink wine or strong drink; and you shall not eat anything unclean. <span class="reftext"><a href="/parallel/judges/13-5.htm#aramaic"><b>5</b></a></span>For lo, you have conceived and will bear a son; and no razor shall come on his head; for the child shall be a Nazarite to God from the womb; and he will begin to deliver Israel out of the hand of the Philistines. <span class="reftext"><a href="/parallel/judges/13-6.htm#aramaic"><b>6</b></a></span>Then the woman came and told her husband, saying, A man of God came to me, and his countenance was like the countenance of an angel of God, and I trembled exceedingly, and I did not ask him whence he was, nor did he tell me his name; <span class="reftext"><a href="/parallel/judges/13-7.htm#aramaic"><b>7</b></a></span>But he said to me, Behold, you have conceived, and you will bear a son; and from henceforth drink no wine nor strong drink, neither eat any unclean thing;
