Manoah said to the angel of Yahweh, I pray you, let us detain you, that we may make ready a kid for you.

וְנַעֲשֶׂ֥ה (וְ) ve. “so”

The angel of Yahweh said to Manoah, Though you detain me, I won't eat of your bread; and if you will make ready a burnt offering, you must offer it to Yahweh. For Manoah didn't know that he was the angel of Yahweh.

וְאִם־ (וְ) ve. “and”

The angel of Yahweh said to him, Why do you ask after my name, seeing it is wonderful?

Then his father and his mother said to him, Is there never a woman among the daughters of your brothers, or among all my people, that you go to take a wife of the uncircumcised Philistines? Samson said to his father, Get her for me; for she pleases me well.

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

Samson's wife wept before him, and said, You do but hate me, and don't love me: you have put forth a riddle to the children of my people, and haven't told it me. He said to her, Behold, I haven't told it my father nor my mother, and shall I tell you?
