Judges 13:14-16

Common English Bible

¹⁴ She must not consume anything that comes from the grapevine, drink wine or brandy, or eat anything that is ritually unclean. She must be careful to do everything I have commanded her.”

¹⁵ Manoah said to the Lord’s messenger, “Please let us persuade you to stay so we can prepare a young goat for you.”

¹⁶ But the Lord’s messenger replied to Manoah, “If you persuaded me to stay, I wouldn’t eat your food. If you prepare an entirely burned offering, offer it to the Lord.” Indeed, Manoah didn’t know that he was the Lord’s messenger.
