10. The woman hurried to her husband. She told him, "He's here! The man who appeared to me the other day is here!"
11. Manoah got up and followed his wife. When he came to the man, he spoke to him. He said, "Are you the one who talked to my wife?" "I am," he replied.
12. So Manoah asked him, "What will happen when your words come true? What rules should we follow for the boy's life and work?"
