And Manoah said, Now let thy words come to pass. How shall we order the child, and how shall we do to him?

וּמַעֲשֵֽׂהוּ׃ (וּ) u. “and”

She may not eat of any thing that cometh of the vine, neither let her drink wine or strong drink, nor eat any unclean thing; all that I commanded her let her observe.

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

וְנַעֲשֶׂ֥ה (וְ) ve. “so”

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.

וְאִם־ (וְ) ve. “and”

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

וְהוּא־ (וְ) ve. “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.

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

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

But the angel of the LORD did no more appear to Manoah and to his wife. Then Manoah knew that he was an angel of the LORD.

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

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

And the Spirit of the LORD began to move him at times in the camp of Dan, between Zorah and Eshtaol.

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.

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

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

But his father and his mother knew not that it was of the LORD, that he sought an occasion against the Philistines: for at that time the Philistines had dominion over Israel.

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

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

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

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

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

וּשְׁלֹשִׁ֖ים (וּ) u. “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.

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

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.

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

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

And Samson's wife wept before him, and said, Thou dost but hate me, and lovest me not: thou hast proposed a riddle to the children of my people, and hast not told it to me. And he said to her, Behold, I have not told it to my father nor to my mother, and shall I tell it to thee?

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? and what is stronger than a lion? And he said to them, If ye had not plowed with my heifer, ye had not found out my riddle.

וּמֶ֥ה (וּ) u. “and”

But it came to pass after a while, in the time of wheat-harvest, that Samson visited his wife with a kid; and he said, I will go in to my wife into the chamber. But her father would not suffer him to go in.
