Judges 13:2-4
New English Translation
2 There was a man named Manoah from Zorah, from the Danite tribe. His wife was infertile and childless.[a] 3 The angel of the Lord appeared to the woman and said to her, “You[b] are infertile and childless,[c] but you will conceive and have a son. 4 Now be careful! Do not drink wine or beer, and do not eat any food that will make you ritually unclean.[d]
