Judges 13:1-5

Once again, the Israelites continued doing evil in the sight of YAHWEH, so he subjected them to Philistine rule for forty years. There was a certain man from the tribe of Dan, who lived in the city of Zorah, named Manoah. His wife was barren and childless, but the Angel of YAHWEH appeared to her and said, “Look here! You are no longer barren and childless, for you will conceive and give birth to a son. Now be careful not to drink any wine or beer and to eat nothing considered unclean. You will conceive and will give birth to a son. Raise the boy as one dedicated to God from the womb and never cut his hair. He will begin to deliver Israel from Philistine power.”
