Manoah & the Angel of God
There was man named Manoah. He was married, but had no children.
One day, the Angel of the Lord appeared to her and said: “Indeed now, you are barren and
have borne no children, but you shall conceive and bear a son.
Story continued… Now therefore, please be careful not to drink
wine or similar drink, and not to eat anything unclean. For behold, you shall conceive and bear a son. And no razor shall come upon his head, for the child shall be a Nazirite to God from the womb; and he shall begin to deliver Israel out of the hand of the Philistines.” (Judges 13:3-5)
The woman ran to her husband, Manoah, to tell
him the news… She didn’t know exactly who
it was that appeared to her.
She said: “A Man of God came to me, and His countenance [appearance] was like the countenance of the Angel of God, very awesome; but I did not ask Him where He was from, and He did not tell me His name.” … And she continued to tell her husband all that the Angel had said.
Manoah was so happy, so he prayed to the Lord…
When Manoah came, he asked: “Are you the Man who spoke to this woman?”
The Angel said: “I am”.
Manoah said: “Let Your words come true! How will the boy live and what will he do?”
The Angel of the Lord said: “Make sure she does all that I have commanded her!”
Manoah said: “Please, let us keep you here with us and we will prepare a young goat for You”
Angel: “Even though I will stay with you, I will not eat your food. But if you offer a burnt offering, you must offer it to the Lord.” (Manoah did not know that He was the Angel of the Lord)
Manoah asked: “What is Your name so that when this child is born we can honour You?”
The Angel did not tell him his name, he just said: “Why do you ask my name, since it is wonderful?
Manoah took a young goat and offered it as a
sacrifice to the Lord.
A wonderful thing happened: As the flame of the sacrifice went up to
heaven from the altar, the Angel of the Lord ascended, up with the flame of the altar!
Nine months later . . .
…Samson was born
They brought him up in the fear of the God and taught him how to pray and read
