22. Manoah said to his wife, “We will certainly die, because we have seen a supernatural being!”
23. But his wife said to him, “If the Lord wanted to kill us, he would not have accepted the burnt offering and the grain offering from us. He would not have shown us all these things, or have spoken to us like this just now.”
24. Manoah’s wife gave birth to a son and named him Samson. The child grew and the Lord empowered him.
