Judges 13:10-15 Common English Bible (CEB)

10. So the woman hurriedly ran and informed her husband. She said to him, "The man who came to me the other day has just appeared to me."

11. Manoah got up and followed his wife. He came to the man and said to him, "Are you the man who spoke to this woman?""I am," he replied.

12. Manoah said, "Now when your words come true, what should be the rules for the boy and how he should act?"

13. The Lord’s messenger answered Manoah, "The woman should be careful to do everything that I told her.

14. She must not consume anything that comes from the grapevine, drink wine or brandy, or eat anything that is ritually unclean. She must be careful to do everything I have commanded her."

15. Manoah said to the Lord’s messenger, "Please let us persuade you to stay so we can prepare a young goat for you."
