21 The angel of the Lord did not appear to them again. Then Manoah understood that the man was really the angel of the Lord.
22 Manoah said, “We have seen God! Surely we will die because of this!”
23 But his wife said to him, “The Lord does not want to kill us. If he wanted to kill us, he would not have accepted our burnt offering or grain offering. He would not have shown us all these things. And he would not have told us all this.”
24 So the woman gave birth to a boy. She named him Samson. Samson grew, and the Lord blessed him.
25 The Spirit of the Lord began to work in Samson. This was while he was in the city of Mahaneh Dan. It is between the cities of Zorah and Eshtaol.
