And Manoah said, Now when your words come true, what is to be the rule for the child and what will be his work?

וּמַעֲשֵֽׂהוּ׃ (וּ) u. “and”

She is to have nothing which comes from the vine for her food, and let her take no wine or strong drink or anything which is unclean; let her take care to do all I have given her orders to do.

וְיַ֤יִן (וְ) ve. “and”וְשֵׁכָר֙ (וְ) ve. “and”וְכָל־ (וְ) ve. “and”

And Manoah said to the angel of the Lord, Now let us keep you while we make ready a young goat for you.

וְנַעֲשֶׂ֥ה (וְ) ve. “so”

And the angel of the Lord said to Manoah, Though you keep me I will not take of your food; but if you will make a burned offering, let it be offered to the Lord. For it had not come into Manoah's mind that he was the angel of the Lord.

וְאִם־ (וְ) ve. “and”

But the angel of the Lord said to him, Why are you questioning me about my name, seeing that it is a wonder?

וְהוּא־ (וְ) ve. “and”

So Manoah took the young goat with its meal offering, offering it on the rock to the Lord, who did strange things.

וְאֶת־ (וְ) ve. “and”וּמַפְלִ֣א (וּ) u. “and”וּמָנ֥וֹחַ (וּ) u. “and”וְאִשְׁתּ֖וֹ (וְ) ve. “and”

And when the flame went up to heaven from the altar, the angel of the Lord went up in the flame of the altar, while Manoah and his wife were looking on; and they went down on their faces to the earth.

וּמָנ֤וֹחַ (וּ) u. “and”וְאִשְׁתּוֹ֙ (וְ) ve. “and”

But the angel of the Lord was seen no more by Manoah and his wife. Then it was clear to Manoah that he was the angel of the Lord.

וְלֹא־ (וְ) ve. “and”וְאֶל־ (וְ) ve. “and”

But his wife said to him, If the Lord was purposing our death, he would not have taken our burned offering and our meal offering, or have given us such orders about the child.

וּמִנְחָ֔ה (וּ) u. “and”וְלֹ֥א (וְ) ve. “and”וְכָעֵ֕ת (וְ) ve. “and”

And the spirit of the Lord first came on him in Mahaneh-dan, between Zorah and Eshtaol.

וּבֵ֥ין (וּ) u. “and”

And when he came back he said to his father and mother, I have seen a woman in Timnah, of the daughters of the Philistines: get her now for me for my wife.

וּלְאִמּ֔וֹ (וּ) u. “and”וְעַתָּ֕ה (וְ) ve. “and”

Then his father and mother said to him, Is there no woman among the daughters of your relations or among all my people, that you have to go for your wife to the Philistines, who are without circumcision? But Samson said to his father, Get her for me, for

וְאִמּ֗וֹ (וְ) ve. “and”וּבְכָל־ (וּ) u. “and”

Now his father and mother had no knowledge that this was the purpose of the Lord, who had the destruction of the Philistines in mind. Now the Philistines at that time were ruling over Israel.

וְאָבִ֨יו (וְ) ve. “and”וְאִמּ֜וֹ (וְ) ve. “and”וּבָעֵ֣ת (וּ) u. “and”

Then Samson went down to Timnah (and his father and his mother,) and came to the vine-gardens of Timnah; and a young lion came rushing out at him.

וְאָבִ֥יו (וְ) ve. “and”וְאִמּ֖וֹ (וְ) ve. “and”וְהִנֵּה֙ (וְ) ve. “and”

And the spirit of the Lord came on him with power, and, unarmed as he was, pulling the lion in two as one might do to a young goat, he put him to death; (but he said nothing to his father and mother of what he had done.)

וּמְא֖וּמָה (וּ) u. “and”וְלֹ֤א (וְ) ve. “and”וּלְאִמּ֔וֹ (וּ) u. “and”

Then after a time he went back to take her; and turning from the road to see the dead body of the lion, he saw a mass of bees in the body of the lion, and honey there.

וְהִנֵּ֨ה (וְ) ve. “and”וּדְבָֽשׁ׃ (וּ) u. “and”

And he took the honey in his hand, and went on, tasting it on the way; and when he came to his father and mother he gave some to them; but did not say that he had taken the honey from the body of the lion.

וְאָכֹ֔ל (וְ) ve. “and”וְאֶל־ (וְ) ve. “and”וְלֹֽא־ (וְ) ve. “and”

And Samson said, Now I have a hard question for you: if you are able to give me the answer before the seven days of the feast are over, I will give you thirty linen robes and thirty changes of clothing;

וּשְׁלֹשִׁ֖ים (וּ) u. “and”

But if you are not able to give me the answer, then you will have to give me thirty linen robes and thirty changes of clothing. And they said to him, Put your hard question and let us see what it is.

וְאִם־ (וְ) ve. “and”וּשְׁלֹשִׁ֖ים (וּ) u. “and”וְנִשְׁמָעֶֽנָּה׃ (וְ) ve. “so”

And he said, Out of the taker of food came food, and out of the strong came the sweet. And at the end of three days they were still not able to give the answer.

וּמֵעַ֖ז (וּ) u. “and”וְלֹ֥א (וְ) ve. “and”

So on the fourth day they said to Samson's wife, Get from your husband the answer to his question by some trick or other, or we will have you and your father's house burned with fire; did you get us here to take all we have?

וְיַגֶּד־ (וְ) ve. “so”וְאֶת־ (וְ) ve. “and”

Then Samson's wife, weeping over him, said, Truly you have no love for me but only hate; you have put a hard question to the children of my people and have not given me the answer. And he said to her, See, I have not given the answer even to my father or

וְלֹ֣א (וְ) ve. “and”וְלִ֖י (וְ) ve. “and”וּלְאִמִּ֛י (וּ) u. “and”וְלָ֥ךְ (וְ) ve. “and”

Then on the seventh day, before he went into the bride's room, the men of the town said to him, What is sweeter than honey? and what is stronger than a lion? And he said to them, If you had not been ploughing with my cow you would not have got the answer

וּמֶ֥ה (וּ) u. “and”

Now a short time after, at the time of the grain-cutting, Samson, taking with him a young goat, went to see his wife; and he said, I will go in to my wife into the bride's room. But her father would not let him go in.

וְלֹֽא־ (וְ) ve. “and”

Then firing the sticks, he let the foxes loose among the uncut grain of the Philistines, and all the corded stems as well as the living grain and the vine-gardens and the olives went up in flames.

וְעַד־ (וְ) ve. “and”וְעַד־ (וְ) ve. “and”
