And the angel of the LORD said to Mano'ah, "Of all that I said to the woman let her beware.

וַיֹּ֛אמֶר (וַ) va “and”

Mano'ah said to the angel of the LORD, "Pray, let us detain you, and prepare a kid for you."

וַיֹּ֥אמֶר (וַ) va “and”

And the angel of the LORD said to Mano'ah, "If you detain me, I will not eat of your food; but if you make ready a burnt offering, then offer it to the LORD." (For Mano'ah did not know that he was the angel of the LORD.)

וַיֹּאמֶר֩ (וַ) va “and”

And Mano'ah said to the angel of the LORD, "What is your name, so that, when your words come true, we may honor you?"

וַיֹּ֧אמֶר (וַ) va “and”וְכִבַּדְנֽוּךָ׃ (וְ) ve. “and”

And the angel of the LORD said to him, "Why do you ask my name, seeing it is wonderful?"

וַיֹּ֤אמֶר (וַ) va “and”

So Mano'ah took the kid with the cereal offering, and offered it upon the rock to the LORD, to him who works wonders.

וַיִּקַּ֨ח (וַ) va “and”וַיַּ֥עַל (וַ) va “and”

And when the flame went up toward heaven from the altar, the angel of the LORD ascended in the flame of the altar while Mano'ah and his wife looked on; and they fell on their faces to the ground.

וַיְהִי֩ (וַ) va “and”וַיַּ֥עַל (וַ) va “and”וַיִּפְּל֥וּ (וַ) va “and”

And Mano'ah said to his wife, "We shall surely die, for we have seen God."

וַיֹּ֧אמֶר (וַ) va “and”

But his wife said to him, "If the LORD had meant to kill us, he would not have accepted a burnt offering and a cereal offering at our hands, or shown us all these things, or now announced to us such things as these."

וַתֹּ֧אמֶר (וַ) va. “and”

And the woman bore a son, and called his name Samson; and the boy grew, and the LORD blessed him.

וַתֵּ֤לֶד (וַ) va. “and”וַתִּקְרָ֥א (וַ) va. “and”וַיִּגְדַּ֣ל (וַ) va “and”וַֽיְבָרְכֵ֖הוּ (וַֽ) va “and”

And the Spirit of the LORD began to stir him in Ma'haneh-dan, between Zorah and Esh'ta-ol.

וַתָּ֙חֶל֙ (וַ) va. “and”

Samson went down to Timnah, and at Timnah he saw one of the daughters of the Philistines.

וַיֵּ֥רֶד (וַ) va “and”וַיַּ֥רְא (וַ) va “and”

Then he came up, and told his father and mother, "I saw one of the daughters of the Philistines at Timnah; now get her for me as my wife."

וַיַּ֗עַל (וַ) va “and”וַיַּגֵּד֙ (וַ) va “and”וַיֹּ֗אמֶר (וַ) va “and”

But his father and mother said to him, "Is there not a woman among the daughters of your kinsmen, or among all our people, that you must go to take a wife from the uncircumcised Philistines?" But Samson said to his father, "Get her for me; for she pleases me well."

וַיֹּ֨אמֶר (וַ) va “and”וַיֹּ֨אמֶר (וַ) va “and”

Then Samson went down with his father and mother to Timnah, and he came to the vineyards of Timnah. And behold, a young lion roared against him;

וַיֵּ֧רֶד (וַ) va “and”וַיָּבֹ֙אוּ֙ (וַ) va “and”

and the Spirit of the LORD came mightily upon him, and he tore the lion asunder as one tears a kid; and he had nothing in his hand. But he did not tell his father or his mother what he had done.

וַתִּצְלַ֨ח (וַ) va. “and”וַֽיְשַׁסְּעֵ֙הוּ֙ (וַֽ) va “and”

Then he went down and talked with the woman; and she pleased Samson well.

וַיֵּ֖רֶד (וַ) va “and”וַיְדַבֵּ֣ר (וַ) va “and”וַתִּישַׁ֖ר (וַ) va. “and”

And after a while he returned to take her; and he turned aside to see the carcass of the lion, and behold, there was a swarm of bees in the body of the lion, and honey.

וַיָּ֤שָׁב (וַ) va “and”וַיָּ֣סַר (וַ) va “and”

He scraped it out into his hands, and went on, eating as he went; and he came to his father and mother, and gave some to them, and they ate. But he did not tell them that he had taken the honey from the carcass of the lion.

וַיִּרְדֵּ֣הוּ (וַ) va “and”וַיֵּ֤לֶךְ (וַ) va “and”וַיֵּ֙לֶךְ֙ (וַ) va “and”וַיִּתֵּ֥ן (וַ) va “and”וַיֹּאכֵ֑לוּ (וַ) va “and”

And his father went down to the woman, and Samson made a feast there; for so the young men used to do.

וַיֵּ֥רֶד (וַ) va “and”וַיַּ֨עַשׂ (וַ) va “and”

And when the people saw him, they brought thirty companions to be with him.

וַיְהִ֖י (וַ) va “and”וַיִּקְחוּ֙ (וַ) va “and”וַיִּהְי֖וּ (וַ) va “and”

And Samson said to them, "Let me now put a riddle to you; if you can tell me what it is, within the seven days of the feast, and find it out, then I will give you thirty linen garments and thirty festal garments;

וַיֹּ֤אמֶר (וַ) va “and”וּמְצָאתֶ֔ם (וּ) u. “and”וְנָתַתִּ֤י (וְ) ve. “and”

but if you cannot tell me what it is, then you shall give me thirty linen garments and thirty festal garments." And they said to him, "Put your riddle, that we may hear it."

וּנְתַתֶּ֨ם (וּ) u. “and”וַיֹּ֣אמְרוּ (וַ) va “and”

And he said to them, "Out of the eater came something to eat. Out of the strong came something sweet." And they could not in three days tell what the riddle was.

וַיֹּ֣אמֶר (וַ) va “and”

On the fourth day they said to Samson's wife, "Entice your husband to tell us what the riddle is, lest we burn you and your father's house with fire. Have you invited us here to impoverish us?"

וַיְהִ֣י׀ (וַ) va “and”וַיֹּאמְר֤וּ (וַ) va “and”
