Manoah said to his wife, “We shall surely die, because we have seen God.”
But his wife said to him, “If the LORD were pleased to kill us, he wouldn’t have received a burnt offering and a meal offering at our hand, and he wouldn’t have shown us all these things, nor would he have told us such things as these at this time.”
The woman bore a son and named him Samson.
The child grew, and the LORD blessed him.
The LORD’s Spirit began to move him in Mahaneh Dan, between Zorah and Eshtaol.
