12. And Manowaḥ said, “Now let Your words come true! What is to be the rule for the youth’s life and his work?”
13. And the Messenger of יהוה said to Manowaḥ, “Let the woman guard all that I said to her.
14. “Let her not eat any food that comes from the vine, neither let her drink wine or strong drink, or eat any unclean food. Let her guard all that which I have commanded her.”
15. And Manowaḥ said to the Messenger of יהוה, “Please let us detain You, and prepare a young goat for You.”
16. And the Messenger of יהוה said to Manowaḥ, “Though you detain Me, I do not eat your food. But if you offer a burnt offering, offer it to יהוה.” For Manowaḥ did not know He was a Messenger of יהוה.
