Vers. 6. Then the wife came and told her husband, saying, A man of God came unto me, and the fashion of him was like the fashion of the Angel of God exceeding fearful: but I asked him not whence he was, neither told he me his name. 7. But he said unto me, Behold thou shalt conceive, and bear a son, and now thou shalt drink no wine, nor strong drink, neither eat any unclean thing: for the child shall be a Nazarite to God, from his birth to the day of his death. 8. Then Manoah prayed to the Lord and said, I pray thee my Lord, let the man ⟨p. 620⟩of God whom thou se•test, come again now unto us, and teach us what we shall do unto the child when he is borne. 9. And God heard the voice of Manoah, and the Angel of God came again to the wife, as she sate in the field, but Manoah her husband was not with her. 10. And the wife made haste, and ran and showed her husband, and said unto him, Behold the man hath appeared unto me that came unto me to day. 11. And Manoah arose and went after his wife, and came to the man and said unto him, Art thou the man that spakest unto the woman? and he said, Yea. 12. Then Manoah said, Now let thy saying come to pass: but how shall we order the child and do unto him? 13. And the Angel of the Lord said unto Manoah, The woman must beware of all that I said unto her. 14. She may eat of nothing that cometh of the vine tree: she shall not drink wine, nor strong drink, nor eat any unclean thing: let her observe all that I have commanded her.

But he said vnto me, Behold thou shalt conceiue, and beare a sonne, and now thou shalt drinke no wine, nor strong drinke, neither eate any vncleane thing: for the childe shall be a Nazarite to God, from his birth to the day of his death. 8. Then Manoah prayed to the Lord and said, I pray thee my Lord, let the man ⟨p. 620⟩of God whom thou se•test, come againe now vnto vs, and teach vs what wee shall doe vnto the childe when he is borne. 9. And God heard the voyce of Manoah, and the Angell of God came againe to the wife, as she sate in the field, but Manoah her husband was not with her. 10.
