12 And Manoah saith, 'Now let thy words come to pass; what is the custom of the youth -- and his work?'
13 And the messenger of Jehovah saith unto Manoah, 'Of all that I said unto the woman let her take heed;
14 of anything which cometh out from the wine-vine she doth not eat, and wine and strong drink she doth not drink, and any unclean thing she doth not eat; all that I have commanded her she doth observe.'
15 And Manoah saith unto the messenger of Jehovah, 'Let us detain thee, we pray thee, and prepare before thee a kid of the goats.'
16 And the messenger of Jehovah saith unto Manoah, 'If thou detain me -- I do not eat of thy bread; and if thou prepare a burnt-offering -- to Jehovah thou dost offer it;' for Manoah hath not known that He 'is' a messenger of Jehovah.
