And the angel of the LORD said to Manoah, Of all that I said to the woman, let her beware.

וַיֹּ֛אמֶר (וַ) va “and”

And Manoah said to the angel of the LORD, I pray thee, let us detain thee, until we shall have made ready a kid for thee.

וַיֹּ֥אמֶר (וַ) va “and”

And the angel of the LORD said to Manoah, Though thou shouldst detain me, I will not eat of thy bread: and if thou wilt offer a burnt-offering, thou must offer it to the LORD. For Manoah knew not that he was an angel of the LORD.

וַיֹּאמֶר֩ (וַ) va “and”

And Manoah said to the angel of the LORD, What is thy name, that when thy sayings come to pass, we may do thee honor?

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

And the angel of the LORD said to him, why askest thou thus after my name, seeing it is secret?

וַיֹּ֤אמֶר (וַ) va “and”

So Manoah took a kid, with a meat-offering, and offered it upon a rock to the LORD; and the angel did wonderously, and Manoah and his wife looked on.

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

For it came to pass, when the flame ascended towards heaven from off the altar, that the angel of the LORD ascended in the flame of the altar. And Manoah and his wife looked on it, and fell on their faces to the ground.

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

And Manoah said to his wife, We shall surely die, because we have seen God.

וַיֹּ֧אמֶר (וַ) va “and”

But his wife said to him, If the LORD were pleased to kill us, he would not have received a burnt-offering and a meat-offering at our hands, neither would he have showed us all these things, nor would, as at this time, have told us such things as these.

וַתֹּ֧אמֶר (וַ) va. “and”

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

And Samson went down to Timnath, and saw a woman in Timnath of the daughters of the Philistines.

And he came up, and told his father and his mother, and said, I have seen a woman in Timnath of the daughters of the Philistines: now therefore get her for me for a wife.

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

Then his father and his mother said to him, Is there not a woman among the daughters of thy brethren, or among all my people, that thou goest to take a wife of the uncircumcised Philistines? And Samson said to his father, Get her for me; for she pleaseth me well.

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

Then went Samson down, and his father and his mother, to Timnath, and came to the vineyards of Timnath: 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 rent him as he would have rent a kid, and he had nothing in his hand: but he told not his father or his mother what he had done.

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

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

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

And he took of it in his hands, and went on eating, and came to his father and mother, and he gave them, and they ate: but he told them not that he had taken the honey out of 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”

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

And it came to pass, when they saw him, that 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, I will now propose a riddle to you: if ye can certainly declare it me within the seven days of the feast, and find it out, then I will give you thirty sheets and thirty change of garments:

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

But if ye cannot declare it to me, then shall ye give me thirty sheets and thirty change of garments. And they said to him, propose thy riddle, that we may hear it.

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

And he said to them, Out of the eater came forth food, and out of the strong came forth sweetness. And they could not in three days expound the riddle.

וַיֹּ֣אמֶר (וַ) va “and”

And it came to pass on the seventh day, that they said to Samson's wife, Entice thy husband, that he may declare to us the riddle, lest we burn thee and thy father's house with fire: have ye called us to take what we possess? is it not so?

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