The story of Samson’s birth was miraculous. Before he was born, he was called to be a Nazarite ~ set apart for God’s use. Let’s step into the scene between the Angel of the Lord and Manoah’s wife.

Judges 13:3 says, “And the Angel of the Lord appeared to the woman and said to her, Indeed now, you are barren and have borne no children, but you shall conceive and bear a son.” She was not to drink any wine or eat anything unclean.

In verse 5 He gave specific instructions, “…no razor shall come upon his head…” The Lord was going to use Samson to begin to deliver the Israelites out of the hand of the Philistines. The woman told her husband. 

In verse 8 Manoah asked the Lord to let the Man of God come back. When He came, Manoah prepared a meal.
