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

וְנַעֲשֶׂ֥ה (וְ) ve. “so”

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.)

וְאִם־ (וְ) ve. “and”

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

וְהוּא־ (וְ) ve. “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.

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."

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

His father and mother did not know that it was from the LORD; for he was seeking an occasion against the Philistines. At that time the Philistines had dominion over Israel.

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.

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

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

וּשְׁלֹשִׁ֖ים (וּ) u. “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."

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

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?"

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

And Samson's wife wept before him, and said, "You only hate me, you do not love me; you have put a riddle to my countrymen, and you have not told me what it is." And he said to her, "Behold, I have not told my father nor my mother, and shall I tell you?"

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

And the men of the city said to him on the seventh day before the sun went down, "What is sweeter than honey? What is stronger than a lion?" And he said to them, "If you had not plowed with my heifer, you would not have found out my riddle."

וּמֶ֥ה (וּ) u. “and”
